Ducks aren't actually that hard to hatch, from what I've learned. I incubate them just like the chicken eggs, just misted them occasionally. They take a little longer than chicken eggs I hatch- 28 days instead of 21. They don't need an actual pond or a separate coop- just something like a kiddie pool from Walmart or something that they could paddle around in. My mallard doesn't fly, and she cooperates just fine with the chickensWell I don't know anything about ducks, so I probably won't do it. It would be cool, but I don't have a separate coop. Do they need a pond? I know they can't fly... or at least me neighbor tells me.![]()
