this works and I have done so with good hatch rates.
one thing i will caution, add a fake egg or 2 (i use wooden ones) that are bigger than call eggs this way they hens wont break the call eggs.
what i do is candle them also twice during incubating and then a day or so before hatching i remove...
when breeding them, try them to whites and greys....i have done so and have had some good success adding type and bodies to them.
take the forsaid offspring and breed them back and u get snowys.
something to tinker with if u have the time and patience.
I have had an exellent hatch of buff ducks and am bringing some to columbus to sell...who else raises the buffs...?? i would be interested in seeing others flocks
