Hatching bantam call ducks ques?

[BreezyBre]

I got myself some porcelain D'uccles to hatch and then a friend traded me some of her little eggs ( silkies & call duck bantam) to hatch for sourdough starter lol. I've Never hatched a bantam call duck I assume since I got all the eggs together they can be incubated in same time frame as the chickens ?

Your bantam chicken eggs will hatch after 21 days maybe sooner and your call ducks will in 26-28 days and require higher humidty.

@WVduckchick and @MasterOfClucker hatch call ducks, maybe they can help. Calls have a hard time hatching usually. They take 26-28 days as Old McRonald said.

The lady I got them from is one trust to be a quality breeder and she always hatches a ton so I'm hoping these will hatch easily

Calls usually hatch in 26 days. I rarely have them go over that.
They do not require higher humidity. Matter of fact, I just finished a round of porcelain d’Uccle and call ducks too! I set them about 5 days apart, but the d’Uccles pipped and hatched on day 19 and 20, sooner than I expected. I moved them to a different incubator to hatch, because I came home one evening they were all pipped early
Then the ducks hatched a couple days later.

Better quality calls take a little more care to hatch, and often require assistance. Their bills and necks are both short, which can make it hard for them to pip. But they are soooo worth it! Not much cuter in my opinion than a baby call duckling.

Best of luck with your hatch. I’d hold the call eggs and wait a few days to set them, if you want them to hatch together.

Awwwe beautiful babies ! Thank you I talked with the lady I got them from just to hear her specifics of how she does it and she's the same as you hatching them together with no issue . So for now I will do it this way until I can I get another incubator because clearly only having one isn't enough lololol
