Incubation Muscovy Eggs/ Question?

[LilyD]

Okay so today is day 28 for me. I am still incubating shipped muscovy eggs. So excited that my 11 eggs have made it this far. I have a question though. What day do I stop turning the eggs to get them ready for hatching? Do I wait until they internally pip or do I stop turning before that.

Thanks
Lily

Your not supposed to turn the eggs after day 18, which is lockdown day. Most chicks hatch around 21 days. But you said they were on day 28, did you mistype it? If the eggs are on day 28, they should all be dead if none have hatched yet.

I am incubating Muscovy duck eggs but it's my first time. So I am trying to figure out when to stop turning them.

Doesn't anyone know?

Oh oops. I didn't see the topics it was under. I was talking about chicken eggs...

`I saw that one but it says the range of hatching is from 33 days to 37 days so do I stop turning on day 30 which would be 2 days from now and lay them down out of the turner or do I keep them in the turner until they internally pip and then lay them down. It's not really clear

I don't have any ducks, but yes, if I were you I would stop at the end of day 30.
