HELP! Extra eggs (Follow up to unnoticed post)

[Pekin Duck Lover]

This is pretty urgent to me, as this is my first time hatching. I was sent two extra duck eggs that my full incubator can’t hold. Nobody can take them. Should I make a makeshift incubator for the extras or forget it?

What model are you using?

What model are you using?

I’m not too knowledgeable, but I’m using an incubator that holds 6 eggs and has a temperature meter.

I have incubated my eggs up to 21 days after being laid and have healthy t happy ducks from this batch
I would set 6 in the bator and on day 5-6 you will know if the eggs are fertile and doing well
Sometimes some don’t take and die in first few days and others don’t ever start. The extra 2 eggs could be replacements if you have any that don’t take or die in early stages
That’s what I would do
Keep them in room temp not a fridge and once or twice a day you can move the two eggs so they aren’t left in same position
Good luck on your hatching .

If you're up to the challenge, you could hand turn all the eggs. Or you can do what Duck Mommy suggested and see if any die in the first couple of days and replace them.
