I am happy to have interaction but I didn't ask for advice on this thread? I think my intention is clear, that I have tried doing it the standard way, and now I am trying a new way to me. I hope that this will be more successful than last time and if so, I'll be delighted that I read his...
P.s. all of my eggs have been shipped and best hatch rates I had were in first 2 incubation where I had 10 eggs laid on side. Next incubation all were kept upright, manual turning etc with disastrous outcome. This time, all eggs upright, automatic turner. Wish me luck. 12 eggs left currently -...
I wasn't asking for advice thanks. I am simply letting everyone know that I am trying a different approach to usual, based on suggestions from my extensive research and a disastrous hatch rate last time after doing the gentle manual turning throughout from day 4 and cooling and misting from day...
Hi everyone,
I just thought I'd start a post about my latest incubation. My first 2 incubations i had 100% & 75% hatch rate. My last incubation, I only hatched 2 out of 12 duck eggs - most died along the way. I followed the same pattern both times with cooling and misting from day 10 but the...
So I got 50% hatch rate but disappointingly one of the ducks has turned out buff and they were ordered from a show breeder so I'm very surprised 🤔 they are adorable and friendly though! 😍
Well it all turned out well and the one with saddled air cell that was initially partially detached did hatch and I had 50% hatch rate with that batch and 100% with another batch and have since ordered an r-com suro max 20 for more reliable, controllable temp/humidity.
Anyone any thoughts on this egg not being upright please? Just worried about the air sac not being able to reattach and hope that other people have had success with a detached air sac.
I'm looking at other incubators as I don't see how the janoel 12 could possibly fit upright duck eggs and this...
Hi all,
I'm Lou from the highlands of Scotland. I raised baby ducklings last year and have just started my very first incubation of 6 silver Swedish duck eggs! Loving reading about everyone's experiences 😊🐤🐣
Thanks- I wasn't sure if I should leave all eggs for a few days to develop before starting to turn but I'll certainly leave the one with detached air sac for a few days. The air sac is normal size and shape currently, just not attached. I was more worried that I couldn't set it completely...
Hi everyone,
I've been reading lots of your posts and doing research into how to incubate duck eggs....however, I have one egg that appears to have a detached air sac.
I left them sitting upright (pointed end down) for 34 hours after receiving them in the post, with the intention of leaving...
Hi everyone, this is my first post and first ducks. I got them at 7 days old & they are now around 14 weeks. (1 Shetland x khaki & 3 Welsh harlequins). I thought I was getting 2 WH girls & 1 drake but am I right in thinking these are all boys? All 3 WH heads are turning green as they moult but...
