My houses are walk in built with left over construction material you can see pics on my profile page if interested. I like to have a pair of each breed but I really like my dh and want him to stay with me. Lol

I’ll go look now

ALSO...remember that shipped eggs sometimes have trouble hatching for what ever reason so only count on half of the eggs you buy/shipped to hatch.
Consider yourself lucky if more than half hatch.

What I am say is buy more eggs than ducks you want.

Mine is like this (not pretty, but functional), except the whole front half is wire. Yes that's chicken wire you see from before the coons tore it out and killed my chickens. The doors now have 2x4 welded wire, screwed down with metal plumbers pipe hanger tape and the whole thing is covered in 1/2" welded wire. I've also replaced the poly wire with 14 gauge steel wire.


There are hundreds of pretty designs in the coop section.

Read up on humidity levels before you start too.
Temp will need to stay the same throughout.

Most important thing IMO is to have calibrated instruments.

Put some fake eggs in the bator and run them for two days before you get real eggs.
So you can see how the bator holds temps and humidity.
Get to know the bator first.
Some spots may be cooler than others. (Why you need multiple thermometers)
Think about rotating eggs around the bator daily.

Ok I was definitely going to run it before trying it on fertilized eggs. Any opinions o. The hovabator 1602n?
