Incubating Duck eggs! First time!!!

[koakritters]

I've got 14 Indian runner duck eggs to incubate, I've never done ducks, how long will they take to hatch, and do I have to have the temp/humidity set differently?

Also, if I time it right, can I have ducks and chickens hatching at the same time?

Duck eggs take 28 days to hatch (lockdown is at day 25). The temperature should be 99.5* and humidity about 50-60%. Yes, put the duck eggs in a week before the chicken eggs. I've got both chicken and duck eggs in my incubator right now. Good luck

My Runner Ducks Take 28 days to hatch.And Yes you can do both in the same incubator.Just start your duck eggs and wait a week to add chicken eggs,Just as Ilovemyduckies said....

I ordered duck eggs and will be setting myself. I am very excited to have spring ducklings.

Someone gave me 25 Muscovy duck eggs and they take 35 days! Good luck with your ducklings, this is my first time too.
