Ducks

[hkisch2014]

Lockdown of duck eggs was friday evening. All eggs had great progress. Upped humidity to 64% (using a 1502 Sportsman incubator). As of this monring, monday, no eggs pipped but a couple eggs are rocking....shouldnt they be hatched by now? Parents are a mix of rouen, white layer, khaki and a single female runner.

What date did you set them?

Ducks take forever to hatch. Even after pipping they can take as long as 48 hours to zip.

I know. I hate hatching because they take so long! But its cheaper than buying. And i keep checking every few hours and more are starting to wiggle around in there. Just getting anxious.

Wow. If these ducks make it it will be a miracle. I jumped the gun...a week early. Poor things.

Did you mean March 11? I'm assuming they haven't been incubating for one day, haha.
