Hatching muscovies

[waibel zoo]

What is the best way to incubate to get the highest number of ducklings? Besides a broody, which I don't have. Also I have conflicting informationon how long it takes.

I have broodies so I can't help you there. Scovies take an average of 35 days to hatch w/33 - 38 days possible.

I did not do good hatching in the bator, but I hatch some.. I did hatch some under a hen, but I got them wet almost ever day.. so that may be what you needed to do to get them to hatch...The ones under the hen was the last ones that I hatched...

Is ther anyone who hatched sucessfully in an incubator. I am using a cabinet.

I have hatched scovies in the incubator. I had 16 of 18 fertile eggs hatch. I hand turned and sprinkled with water when I remembered. Other than that I incubate them the same as any other egg.
