@Sally Sunshine I was reading through the helpful links compilation that you have taken off this thread. The one thing I did not see was incubation times of the different eggs and how to compute the hatch day. For instance, not all ducks are created equal. There are different beliefs on what is actually day 1 so I thought maybe we could discuss what everybody thinks. So I will start off.

Let's say you set your eggs at 7am on Jan 1st. Is day 1 Jan 1st or Jan 2nd.

What if you set them at 7pm on Jan 1st?

I fly hard and fast on hatching and I'm probably not the best to ask to follow all the rules but I know how incubation works at my place. I will interject my thoughts here in a bit.

I count Jan 2nd as the first day. I don't worry much about the time since I've never seen a chick come out with a watch on :D
 
It's my belief the day after setting, at the exact same time the eggs were set the day before, is day 1. 24 hours equals 1 day, so there shouldn't be any confusion which day is which. Just my 2c...

Day one is one day...

Agreed, it works out so that the set and hatch days are the same day of the week. If I set on a Saturday, I just mark my calendar for the 3rd Saturday following...
