    Shipped Duck eggs - incubation & hatch rates

    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...

    Shipped Duck eggs - incubation & hatch rates

    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 -...

    Shipped Duck eggs - incubation & hatch rates

    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...

    Shipped Duck eggs - incubation & hatch rates

    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...

    Hi from Scotland

    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! 😍

    Help! Duck eggs - janoel 12

    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.

    Help! Duck eggs - janoel 12

    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...

    Help! Duck eggs - janoel 12

    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...

    Help! Duck eggs - janoel 12

    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...

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...
