I just ordered 4 from a BYC member it will be my first time too so exited!! What type of duck??

Mallard ducks. This is my first time with ducks so I hope they all come out fine. My aunt called me yesterday and told me that the mom that was laying these eggs was found dead yesterday that a snapping turtle got her and she was dead laying by her nest. I told her to go get the eggs and I will incubate them for her. I have 17 in the my incubator so we will see if any are good.

I have mine on an automatic egg turner and this is my first time also I know it takes 28 days for them to hatch at 99.5 in the incubator. I have it at 50% humidity. I have to take mine off the turner at day 25 and lay them on the screen on the bottom. I love my incubator it is still air so no fan. It has been awesome so far with everything I have done in it so hopefully I have everything good I hope...
