How to hatch ducks/ duck hatching tips

[Crazychickengirl2]

I'm getting duck eggs for hatching soon and don't know how to incubate them. Can you tell me how to hatch them or hatching tips? This is my incubator.

Can I put a Tupperware bowl in the brooder for them to swim in? Is the brooding different than chicken brooding? If im there when they hatch will they think I'm mama duck?

If you have incubated chicken eggs, duck egg about the same with a little more humidity at hatch. I often have duck, chicken, turkey, and quail egg in the 'bator at the same time; all hatch well.

I hatch my ducks the same way I hatch chickens & peafowl.

I hatch my ducks the same way I hatch chickens & peafowl.

I thought it has a different temp and humidity? And aren't you supposed to cool them off and spray them with water every day?

I thought you were supposed to cool them off and spray with water? Do you? I'm so confused

99.5 degrees F
30-45% humidity until day 25 or when they pip internally
On day 25, raise the humidity to 65% and stop turning.

I don't cool them off or spray them.
