Incubation

[Hrschick22]

Can I just hatch my ducks in the same incubator they are in now instead of getting another incubator? Or is there something else I can use? I'm only on day 16 so I have some time I'm just trying to prepare and figure everything out.

If the eggs are all due to hatch on the same day, you certainly can. That’s what I do with chickens and occasionally turkeys. A few days before hatch take any turners out if you are using and automatic turner and prepare for hatch. The professionals use dedicated hatchers so a lot of what you read is about how they do it, but on our scale a second incubator isn’t necessary as long as they are due to hatch at the same time.

Okay thanks! This is my first time hatching eggs so I'm trying to make sure I get everything right,
