Call Ducks Finally Hatched

thanks, but if yall are up for it as soon as i get my line settled ill need some other lines in it, hopefully i can get some eggs from yall

If my breeding plan theory works and Wobbles + chocolate = pied, I'll gladly give you some of my eggs, but were talking at least a year from now!
 
I need to refresh my mind on incubating call duck eggs, how many days is it, when do I stip turning them? What temp and humidity should they be at? :) excited as one if my girls has started laying!

Congrats on getting your first eggs! As far as time, calls usually take 25-26 days to hatch, so lockdown would be on day 23. As for temp and humidity, it depends on who you ask. The show breeder I got mine from says 99.5o for forced air bators, 101o for still air, and humidity at 55% for incubation and 65% for lockdown/hatch. But others on this site swear by dry incubation. I myself kept mine around 35-40% until lockdown, and had a 66% hatch rate, which is pretty good for call ducks!
 
Ok so I'm nerves, I just got a call from a newpaper who wants to do an interview with me on Raising Farm animals. LOL. They will be taken video, pics and writing up a story. OH MAN, what have I gotton myself into? They found me on the internet
