I am candling tommorrow and I have 6 pekin eggs in with BR chicken eggs. I know what to look for in the chicken eggs as far as developement. In the duck eggs am I going to see as much development or do I need to wait longer to see?

Thanks!
 
When I incubated my duck eggs, I followed the chicken chart. It was pretty close despite the 1 week difference in hatch time. Tiny blob with veins is what I would expect.
 
You are supposed to be playing Farmville and sending me gifts!

Naw... you will see alot of movement, just like chickens, but just a bit later. Chances are you will see a bunch of veining right now. I am not sure about everyone else, but I kept my muscovy eggs at a high (60-65) humidity and I had two great hatches. I wasn't too good about spraying them with warm water every day but they did very good.

I havent sprayed them at all. I was wondering about hatching the two together.... This is more of an experiment than anything. They are my own eggs.
