I know these probably are not ideal but would they be OK just to increase my flock. I'll be getting 6 ducklings soon and I'm wondering if when I work out the drakes from the ducks I'll be able to use one of these incubators to incubate their eggs. I'm looking at having 6 ducks in my garden but obviously I'm not lucky enough to get all ducks and imagine some will be drakes. Hope that makes sense

You might want to rethink putting the ducks in the garden though. I got ducks specifically for that and in minutes I had nothing left......but there were no bugs or slugs...or plants.

I'm sure you'll be able to hatch some, but you get what you pay for so don't expect a good hatch rate, and long life out of that thing.

Just don't trust the instructions. Do a dry run for a couple of days. Making sure you monitor temp and humidity at (simulated) set and lockdown. So you know exactly what to do when you go live.

I was thinking they wouldn't be in the garden for a whole load of time I don't know how long it would take for them to go quackers around the garden. More then happy to fence a portion of garden off for them though to make into their own mud pit
