Hi from Grand Rapids Michigan

TropicGardenGems.com

I am excited about backyardchickens.com. I am here to gain some insight to incubating duck eggs, Mandarin ducks to be precise, as a special edition to my Japanese garden pond..
I was raised a farm girl having chickens and collecting eggs but today, I am more focused in gardening with a flair living in northern Michigan.
Any suggestions for beginners in egg incubating

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I've never hatched eggs. I'm no help.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I have never hatched shipped duck eggs, but I have hatched other poultry eggs that were shipped. Shipping is hard on eggs but you can usually count on a 50 to 60% hatch rate.

Stop by our Ducks section for more help getting started, storing your eggs before hatching and how to live through the entire process!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our group!
