new to duck eggs!

[Loretta212]

so i have hatched chickens twice. this past weekend (jan 1st) my husband was helping a friend butcher some pigs and he gave me 15 duck eggs!!! well 2 didnt make the trip home they cracked (my husband put them in nothing but a plastic bag) so i have 13 left. can anyone give me some incubation tips? i know its a little different hatching them and I like to get advice from all of you

thank you

I don't know how to hatch them, but you will probably get a better response if posted in the DUCK thread.

I did mine the same, but most take 28 days. Increase humidity during lockdown to 70-75%.

i read you should spray them with water once daily. i have my first batch in the bator too!

I did not spray mine. I hatched 6 out of 6. I did spray them during lockdown because I had a hard time keeping the humidity up to 70%.
