Incubator Recommendations for Duck Eggs

[My15Ducks]

Thank you! What issues have you experienced with it? I'm trying to be as prepared as possible.

During my first hatch, it went haywire for several hours and was just randomly changing its own settings. I couldn’t figure it out. Afterwards I thought that it may be because I had so many ducklings ones their, 20+, that the humidity just got so high it caused some problem. I have not had that problem since, but now I take hatchlings out sooner so the humidity doesn’t stay sky high for long

Hello! I was hoping to get some recommendations on incubators for duck eggs. I plan on getting a dozen Indian Runner hatching eggs in the spring, and I have never hatched ducklings before. If you could please share the brand/model name of the incubators you have had success with before, it would be greatly appreciated! I have done a lot of googling but keep finding mixed reviews on everything.

I'm looking for something that will hold 12 duck eggs on their side. In addition, I would like it to be able to accurately keep the temperature and humidity levels, allow me to enter the hatch date, and something that will automatically rotate the eggs.

Hi I am also going to attempt the runner eggs that I actually just had shipped to me. I have 5 harris farms nurture right 360 that I've used for my chicken, turkey, guinea and quail eggs. I put a towel over them while running just in case of temps changing in the environment even though I keep them in the garage (in Florida). These eggs are going in tonight. (After sitting upright 24 hours after shipping).. my humidity has never been off during the summer. Not sure about now, but I like this incubator. It's pretty simple, and push button everything. So I dint have to remember to to do much except make sure the turner is plugged in, Basically.

This is the incubator I ended up getting and I love it (actually ended up getting a second one). I've had amazing hatch rates with the duck eggs collected from our farm.

I didn't end up having a great experience with the shipped Indian Runner eggs but I think they got super shaken up in the mail. I hope you have a good experience with your runner eggs though!
