I have a question.
I have a still air incubator. The first of the 4 pipped last night. Sometime before 8pm.
I have a cup with a wet sponge in there, water wells filled & a wet rag. All this with the two red caps in I can get the humidity to almost 70.
My question is I read places where the cap...
No nothing fancy like Muscovy.
Females are:
2 Mallard
2 White Peking
Drakes are:
2 Ancona mixed with Mallard
Pulled one out last night to see if it was alive. When I candled it you could see the beak pressing against the air cell but didn't look like it broke through. Also no peeping.
Put him...
I have 4 eggs I started with that we are flying blind on the day they will pip.
We wised up and started dating the other eggs.
My next group hits their 28th day on August 4th.
On what day should I put them on lockdown?
I have a 29 eggs in my still air incubator.
Temperature is 100
Humidity is 65
The way it's set up I have a turner in it and room for about 12 eggs to pip.
Currently, I have 4 that are due to pip sometime. Problem is when I candle them Wednesday and I can't see anything but black. Can see very...

Hi my name is Eva.
And I just started the incubating process.
I'm honestly lost what to do for them.
I'm hatching ducklings.
Right now there are 5 that I have candled and can tell how far they are. I'd say they are around day 10,12 & 14
Could be wrong.
When I pick the eggs up from the yard do...
Day 2 to day 10. I believe it is.
I wouldn't have them in the incubator but my female decided that she wasn't going to sit on them anymore.
My Peking also dumped her eggs in the nest with my mallard so I have a mix.
The nest had 13 eggs in it. 2 weeks in we candled them and left them as is...
This is my first time incubating duck eggs.
I have 6 eggs now that are all various stages of growth. What do I do when my first one gets closer to hatch? Do I keep turning the rest and just not turn him?
Thank you,
Eva

A few months back I bought a pair of beautiful black n white ducks at a feed store. They couldn't tell me anything about them.
One guy said they where bread from White Peking & Mallard. Couldn't tell me if they are males or females.
As they got older I started to see a emerald green on the black...
