Just set my first batch of Pekin Duck eggs!

[Jayzandra]

I got a dozen Pekin eggs from a friend today and put them in the incubator. I was supposed to be getting some Cayuga eggs from some one else, but I never heard back from him.

I've hatched chicken eggs several times before, but this is the first time I've tried duck eggs.
The incubator has a fan and an automatic turner. I've got it set up at 100F and 55% humidity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I've only hatched quail so no advice here. Just wanted to wish you a good hatch.

Hello! What kind of incubator? Brand/homemade, etc.

55% humidity is usually kinda high, but being in AZ, you may need it a bit higher. Are you high elevation? Watch your air cells. Candle at day 7 and make sure they are losing enough moisture. If not, then decrease that humidity!

I'll follow along as you go, so if you need anything specific, just ask! Good luck
