7 Muscovy Eggs to be shipped, today!!!

[Rare Feathers Farm]

I have 7 eggs which I "sold" on another website. However, the buyer backed out this morning, after I'd already gathered the eggs and wrapped them up, put them in a box and brought them to work with me to be shipped at lunch. I don't want to toss the whole thing--so I'm offering them for sale...these are chocolate pied and black/white muscovies. There are 7 eggs. They are in a USPS Priority box and will be mailed out today.

$18, shipped.

OR--

I'll consider some trades.

I thought I'd add that I've had excellent fertility both at home and with shipped eggs. I also have photos of my drake and my ducks, if anyone is interested?

what is the difference between encubating duck and chicken eggs i am very interrested

 

[LinckHillPoultry]

Swiftfoot, duck eggs need to be kept at a higher humidity during incubation, and need to be turned more than a chicken egg.
3 turnings a day is sufficient, heck I've even had good luck with hatching them when I turn them twice a day, like I do with my chickens.

They're pretty easy though.

how many days does it take for them to hatch
if i use an automatic egg turner should that do fine
also what does the humidity need to be at
thanks for putting up with my questions

 

[LinckHillPoultry]

28, I think
Yes automatic is fine
Usually keep the humidity at 50-60%

Yes, they do need higher humidity....I only turn mine twice per day and I've had higher hatches that way because they don't lose as much humidity (I hand-turn all of mine).
