That's good.

Gotta keep those birds fed.

What day are the eggs on?

I have no idea. I candled them two days ago and they look almost ready. This weekend I'm thinking.

Okay, they might be on day 25 - 26.

Possibly. They are under my Broody Call Hen so I'm just waiting for them to hatch so I can move them into the garage with Momma. Today I might lock her in and everyone else outside.

Thanks. Not my first hatch though. They looked to be almost ready though. I saw fluttering the other day so some definitely should hatch.

Oh Calls take 26 days to hatch. I have a heated Duck Coop although it definitely won't be warm enough for Ducklings.

I understand that, just was putting up the chart for you to compare.

Sounds like a good plan.

I thought all duck eggs hatched in 28 days.

I'd guess by what I saw they should be hatching this weekend.
I just hope she is a good Momma and nothing falls out of the nest before I get to them. I'm not eager to incubate them either. Momma can do the work.

No. Calls are 26, Mallard types are 28 and Muscovy are 35.
