Pekin duck eggs

[addicted2chickens]

What kind of successful hatch % can I expect on Pekin duck eggs in the mail? I have never done ducks but i am expecting fertile ones next month by mail.

I am expecting some as well. I was hoping to have them this fri or sat. But the selling has yet to ship them.

I am going to hatch them in the classroom with 3rd graders. should be exciting. I ordered 6 so even if I get a 50% success I will still have some fun ducks to play with!

Where did you order yours from? I hope to get all 6 of mine but hey if I get two I will be happy. Its a gamble with shipped eggs and I am going to be a nervous nelly the entire time I can see it already

I found a lady on e bay and I contacted her directly because she only had an auction going. I needed a more personal approach because I have to set them on specific day to ensure mid week hatch and to stay away from Memorial day weekend. She was really good about working with me plus gave me a 20%discount for being a teacher. Not even sure where they are coming from because all I have is her email address. We will see how it all turns out

Ohhh good luck. We are both going to need it.
