pekin duck egg help?

[DragunzGirl]

HI, I have always hatched chicken eggs, and well some one had some Pekin duck eggs for sale and well I would like to just try some . SO is it the same way to incubate them as you do chicken eggs??? I was told they take up to 28days or so unlike chicken, but is it the same temps?
I have a home made styrofoam incubator, no wet bulbs. I use jar of water that sits in there. I have hatched alot of chickens out of it.

Yes it is actually easier to incubate duck eggs. Just set your incubator at 100.0 is what mine is set at and humidity 50-55% during the first 25 days then stop turning eggs and bump up humidity to about 65% for the last three days. Hope they hatch well!!
