i was wondering what everything needed to be to incubate duck eggs. asked in the incubation thread and most said to ask here instead. please give any info that you can thank you.

I hear cayugas have very low fertility.

Keeps temp at 99 if forced air bator, and 100-102 if still air. Humidity should be at 60-70%. Good luck! Also, you should come over tovthe hagching thread here in the duck section. Lots of helpfull advice!

Here is the link to the waterfowl hatching guide prepared by our resident byc hatching expert, Pete. While it says it is a goose hatching guide, it works just as well for ducks!
