Duck, I hatched some last year with decent results. I incubated them like regular eggs. The one thing I have heard is that the color on the eggs effects the water transfer from the embryos to the outside air. I was told to scratch some of the color off with fine sandpaper to help the transfer process. I did not do this. I was afraid that it would hurt the eggs. I have 11 in the bator now that I got from the egg swap thread. The best I can tell is that they are doing good. It is really hard to see in the egg because they are so dark but I can see dark spots in the eggs where the embryo should be. We will see how good the hatch rate is.
