Incubating duck eggs

[YaakovR]

Hi guys, I'm a bit new to this forum and this is my first time posting.

I have two questions, I'd appreciate if someone can answer it.

1. For how long after being laid do duck eggs last and can still be incubated?

2. How many days must I wait before candling my eggs?

Thanks.

I am not a hatcher, but there is a thread on hatching waterfowl here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/491013/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed

Welcome!

Store at 50-60 °f, up to 2 weeks, turn a couple of times daily....after a week, probably best to place in the incubator an hour or so per day and gradually increase time.

I would candle on day 7 after they have started full incubation.
