duck eggs - question

[birdbrain5]

i have been hatching chickens and about to hatch some turkeys and guineas. i run them the same with temp and humidity and seem to be developing fine. i'd like to bid on some duck eggs but im not sure if these need to be in different temp and humidity. any advice would be great, thanks.

Humidity for ducks is SUPPOSED to be higher. I have better luck waiting until lockdown to really push the humidity though.

i have been running my humidity anywhere from low 30's to mid 50's, would that be ok?

Ihad a terrible time the first try with chickens. And since we don't do anything with our duck eggs I thought I would give a try. Temp was 99.5. Humidity was 50%. I would roll the eggs when I remembered unlike the doting I did with the chicks. Everyone of the ducks hatched with no problems. I guess I learned a bit from watching my broody hen. She would leave the eggs alone for hours at a time. Roll eggs away the rest. I would find them the next day. They all hatched so I thought I was babying them way to much. Good luck though.
