Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[PoultryGirly]

So my shipped call duck eggs are now on day 2. When they arrived they had wobbly air cells and they were rather big. I was told to keep the humidity at around 45% because of this. The humidity has been, at lowest 40%, and at highest 48%. Does this sound okay? Tomorrow evening (day 3) I will start to turn them and should I candle them on day 7? Thanks!

I think that if ducks build nests before they go broody, that that is probably what is going to happen. Start collecting eggs I say!

Yay! Ok, If she goes broody I'll walk up to my neighbors farm store this week and get some hatching eggs

A duck will keep chicken eggs too wet, and possibly try to drown any chicks that do hatch

ok you guys, I was trying to read and catch up but I lost my place-Because of a post, I think Sally said to get a male so the female duck would lay eggs. Do ducks need a male to produce eggs?
OK and I would love to see a pic of your Aussie ducks bellah, had no idea there was bantam ducks- This could end badly.....does chicken math apply to ducks?

Ducks do not need a male to lay eggs. But like chickens they need one if you to hatch them.
