duck hatch vs. chicken hatch(please answer my question!!!!)

I think they are different in every way you mentioned. Try using the search button asking about incubatoring duck eggs. Good luck.

 

Ducks need more humidity. Dont remember how much though. Ask on Hatching eggs part.

 

fluffy,

there can be a lot of differences, depending on your scale and level of incubation.
To keep it simple, you can use multi-stage parameters as this would be easier for you.

Use 99.5 for the first 25 days with a humidity of about 50-55%. for the last 3 days, drop to 98.5 F and increase your humidity to about 60-65%.
Depending on the duck eggs of course, most duck breeds will take about 28 days. Muscovies, about 35 and mulards, 32. I find that the spread of the hatch is a bit longer with ducks than chickens.

use those parameters and you'll be fine. if you have a high level incubator then and can accurately control humidity and carbon dioxide, i can give you a better parameter scheme that i found to increase my hatch rate by about 11%.

hope this helps.

 

There is no difference in the turning

 

How will you know if your humidity is right if you don't have a hygrometer? You could try it without one and hope, but they aren't that expensive and would save the guess work.

I think your temp will be fine at 100. That was my "magic" number and I've had great hatch rates from all my hatches(except the last one, and I got lazy )
