I have set around 30 duck eggs, Khaki Campbell, Welsh Harlequins, Golden Layer, Mallard, and a few mystery eggs.. I have two fold problems. The eggs were packaged very nicely, however USPS decided to play kickball or something with the box because when I opened it 6 of the eggs were broke and leaking. about 5 others were cracked, but not leaking, so I sealed them with candle wax. They have been in the incubator for about 5 days now, and I decided to do a quick candle on them to see how many were working. As I checked them, USPS has struck again, just about 80 precent of them have ruptured air sacs.
For those that have hatched duck eggs with ruptured air sacs, please offer feedback.
My bator is a forced air Hova with the turner. What I plan on doing is putting the turner in the neutral position at 25 days and letting nature take her course. The eggs with a good air sac, I will put in a hatcher. The rest will leave in the hova.
