ducks and eggs

[earlyredrooster]

Do I need to feed laying pellets to my ducks for eggs?

I would recommend a flock raiser formula with crushed oyster shell on the side. That way she can choose who much she needs and I've read oyster she'll gives them better calcium uptake than layer ration.

Ok thanks first time for ducks. I bought 6 at tsc 2-cayugas two magpies and two pekins. So far one of the cayugas is the only one getting his drake curl.

While I have never hatched out any ducks I think I read that they should be incubated for 28 days at about 98-100 degrees. Couldn't say about humidity though. Try asking in the egg hatching forum I am willing to bet someone there can tell you for sure.
