I think my muscovy ducks took 28-30 days to hatch. What kind of duck eggs are they?? And Good luck!!

Muscovy eggs take about 35 days zo hatch,so you should still have two weeks left until hatch day.

D'Angels, do you have domestic mallards in your flock? If so, you might have a hatch of hybrids, called mulard ducks.
If not, there is always a chance to miscalculate, happens now and then

There khaki kambells.wat do I do when they hatch?

KCs should take 28 days. Personally I would allow 30 days, but if you are planning to breed these ducks that hatch, then you might wish to avoid breeding them later on if they are late hatchers. You can run a search for "incubating duck eggs" for more helpful threads.

There's a sticky at the top of the Duck Forum index on hatching Muscovies.
