How many days to hatch duck eggs?

[Enders Farms]

I can get a dozen duck eggs from a neighbor and want to know how long for a hatch. Thanks!

28 days. Have fun!

Thank you! I am on day 4 with my first chicks in the bator and I really want to try the ducks.

Depends on what kind of duck they are...calls are 26 days, muscovies are 35 days and the rest are 28 days.

 

[FenDruadin]

Oh yes--what Katy said. Sorry. Mine are Runners so they are 28 days, as are most mallard derivatives. But calls and scovies are different. Thanks for the correction, Katy!

I'll be placing some apple yard duck eggs in the bator tomorrow , so I go 28 days and stop turning on day 25 .

also should I place in the bator with or without a egg turner,

Thanks Alan

Yup--appleyards are 28, stop turning at 25. I use an egg turner with my duck eggs. Good luck!
