incubating duck eggs

Hello, I found an abandoned nest of 22 duck eggs. The mom duck was a Muscovy duck, the neighbor who had them in her yard said it probably happened early morning (I found them later in the morning). This is my first time attempting to incubate eggs and I tried to do the candle test but have no...

First time hatching eggs so I need some advice. We are on day 28 of hatching my Cuyuga egg and saw it had begun to pip by 8 a.m. this morning. There's a small dent in the egg but it hasn't fully broken through to the point I can see anything nor can it stick its beak out. There's been movement...

Does anyone know if this is an internal pip? The duckling has been quite lively and moving his egg around the incubator and then we saw this, is it an internal pip or just where he’s been pushing against it? p.s the hole in the egg is so it doesn’t suffocate

If you see a circle on the egg in the video thats because I marked it for turning purposes. It looked like this Wednesday (check inserted photo below) and now it looks like this in a video yesterday (July 1st).

Hi everybody! I just got a kebbonixs 12 egg incubator and I am attempting to hatch duck eggs. I put 2 eggs in yesterday morning and hopefully two more this morning. (If both ducks lay.) So 4 eggs total. The incubator temp says 101 and my other thermometer says 100.6. The humidity says 54%. I...

Looking at this new incubator im realizing that it may not be as advertised, I cannot find humidity controls and nothing online has the info I need. Help, alternate options?!?

Hi everyone! First time Hatcher here. Just had our first duckling out of the shell @day 29, almost 30. He is vigorous, yolk all absorbed, flopping all over making tons of noise. My only concern (apart from hatching late) are his legs. These are taken only minutes out of the shell. Talk me down...

Hi y’all! We have a little hobby farm out in East Texas. We are working with chickens, ducks, and quail. In the chicken pens we have Marans (BCM, splash, and breeding for blue), EEs, Wyandotte’s, and a few other colorful egg layers. (I’m kind of a doofus for pretty eggs). Our duck breeding barn...

Hi, this is my first time hatching duck eggs, or any eggs for that matter! Today is day 28 and I’m starting to get a little nervous as there is no movement or pips or anything g yet in any of my 5 eggs. I have read a lot about ducks being slow so I’m trying to keep calm. I candle all 5 on day 25...

Hiya!! This is my first time incubating duck eggs. Yesterday I put my two eggs into lockdown on day 25 and both were showing great signs of development - they were at 37C at 75-80% humidity. Unfortunately last night my incubator broke and blew a fuse - there was a bright white light and I tried...

I noticed a mallard duck in my front yard garden over a period of almost a week and found her nest. About 2:30 AM on 04-06-2020, Mama Duck was taken by a fox- it was COLD & raining, so I scooped up the eggs, googled how to hatch without a “broody duck”, made a cardboard box bator (tin foiled...

Hi there! This is my first time incubating duck eggs and I have been doing all the research I can to ensure a good hatch. I’ve always heard that duck eggs are far more difficult than chicken eggs, and I really want to do my best to bring these babies into the world! So, with that said, I read...

So i recieved some turkey eggs from my friend and he asked me to incubate it.. But my problem is i got 2 muscovy duck eggs incubating (now at day 19) and im frustrated should i throw these 2 eggs (which both of them are developing embryos) or should i not what do i do

It's day 23 of incubation for my Runner eggs, including one "denty" egg that rolled out of the coop onto the ground at collection time. :barnie I haven't had luck with getting damaged eggs to hatch in the past, but am hoping that quick application of Liquid Bandage (thanks, @ChickenCanoe) to...

Does anybody have any experience with incubating golden 300 eggs? I want to know if they are still a good breed as 2nd generation.

Hi all! Long story short timeline- pekin and indian runner duck eggs. Its only just day 23 and I have one clear as a bell internal pip and 6 that are possibly, if not will soon be internal pips. *Incubator Janoel8-48 set at 37.5 degrees Celsius and humidity 50%. Temp checked with mercury...

I was given fertile duck eggs so I decided to incubate them after many failed attempts with our own ducks. I had one fertile egg already in the incubator when I added the new ones. So the first egg is day 21!!!! 21 others are on day 8!!! What do I do!? I’m using the Nurture Right 360 and buying...

Hi guys, please please let me know if my Indian runner duck eggs are developing properly in the egg!!! I candled them just now and it’s day 24. I have had the temperature at 99.5F and humidity between 40-45% throughout their incubation period. I’m in Canada so it’s a lot chilly here. I will...

I'm going to pick up a new drake on Wednesday! I'm so excited! :D I'm going to have to separate him for a few weeks but I'm pretty sure he's really healthy so I'll put him in with my girl soon. How long after they are put together can I begin collecting eggs that will be fertile? :confused: It's...

Hey, I have several questions regarding 1 egg in particular. It has been incubated several weeks, (not sure if exact day) and I’m trying to determine how far along it is. In order for me to get prepared for hatching if I’m in fact close to hatch day. Also, with this same egg I was wondering if...
