Hello

I'm going to start incubating ducks for the first time and just have some general questions.

I'll be setting the first batch, some bantam appleyards, after my batch of chickens has finished hatching. What is the incubation period for bantam appleyards? And what is the recommended starting humidity? I track my eggs by weight, what is the percentage weight the eggs need to lose?

Thanks

Hi!

I have Call duck eggs in the 'bator, and I incubate them the same as standard duck eggs. I've never monitored humidity, so can't help with that.

Good luck..hopefully someone else can be of more help to you. : )

is all I got

Yay for a happy bator!




Doin good!

Does anyone want any of my Sebbie eggs before I put them on Ebay ? (after checking fertility of course)

I can understand why people would be rehoming extra pairs/trios this time of year.  But it can be a win-win situation because it makes life easier on the seller and it works out well for you!

Oh I can understand doing that too, and it shows that she really does just want them to have a good life I am so excited!

I set Quail with my ducks & had no problem, they just hatch earlier


Will do!!! 

Cool! Thank you same temp for quail?

Yes. Hatch them all the time. They are the fastest hatcers too! It's like popcorn, one minute just a bunch of eggs, 15 minutes later just a bunch of tiny birds.

RG - i LOVE your emu baby!!!!

So I have been banned from hatching quail until the summer I could do it anyway but I need to save up all my "points" for when he finds out my trio is in fact geese not really large ducks lol
