Hatching duck eggs

[Chicken225]

Can anyone tell me how long will it take to hatch duck eggs? Its my first time hatching my own duck eggs I always just buy the babies.

well you need to specify what breed your talking about.

Almost all duck breeds take 28 days.
Muscovies are the exception, they take 35 days.

I usually give the ones that don't hatch on time a week or so extra in the incubator. Sometimes you get 1 or 2 (depending on how many you hatch) that take longer than the rest.
