what is the correct temp. and humidity for hatching campbell ducks! I have some eggs and im not sure what temp. or humidity is correct!!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe temp would be the same as chicken eggs. That's why others have let their broody chicken hens hatch their duck eggs. I have not personally hatched any duck eggs but a friend of mine did using my incubator. He said the humidity needed to be higher than chicks and he kept it about 65% and then up to 100% at the end of the hatch. These were mixed peking - runner eggs. I'm sure someone else will know for sure.

temp 99 to 99.5 degrees
humidity of the incubating duck eggs for the first 25 days to 86 percent. Adjust the humidity to 94 percent for the remaining 3 days.

is 99.5 acceptable w/ 55% humidity??

I think melodylee is giving the wet bulb humidity readings. Hygrometer readings would be 55% then increase to 65% the last three days. Good luck.

some spray the eggs with warm water after 10 days once a day until you stop turning to help the membrane to change to assist hatching and hand turning seems to work better from all the reading that I have been doing.

All the best. Update us on how you go...
