Ok guys and girls I have set my first batch in the incubator. I have 33 duck and 4 turkey eggs in there cooking. Question yall keep talking about running dry. I am running between 23-28% humidity in the bator presently. I know it will have to be increased costs hatch but what do yall try and run in at while they are cooking? I have always raised chickens but we kept game hens to raise our laying hens so this is new to me. I will still be on the hands off team or at least I keep saying that

Just watch your air cells, just like chickens. Mine dipped alot more to one than any my chickens have. More like the reference chart we see lol. And my ducks were alot more active as embryos! Wow do they swim around alot. But if you are hands off, you might not see that so much lol. I also hatched one turkey with my 4 ducklings, it was awesome! Best of luck and please keep us posted!!

These are black east indie duck eggs and I don't think some of them will be able to be candled some of the last one are a little lighter colored and may be able to see but the first ones are almost black

But you use a Brinsea, right? So no biggie! Lol

No, one was enough and much appreciated, thank you. You know I still love you, even if I am over sensative sometime.

Ruby duck eggs r hard because temp has to be very precise. But with a broody duck or hen its easy. I just had a 100% hatch rate on mine.

My temps weren't great with my ducks, had a power outage on days 14-16. Humidity is more an issue with ducks. They need a little more humid than chicks, and they take longer (twice as long) from pip to zip. But Call ducks are even harder because of their small size. Their bills are so tiny and round. And they seem to have a harder time getting into position. This is all from what I've read here, I've never tried call ducks, but want to hatch some eventually.

Well I love a challenge! Just like I did with the chicken eggs before I attempt to hatch them, I will read & read & read and then re-read it all. Are the call ducks super tiny when they hatch? You're really killing me! I can't wait. I really hope they imprint on me too!! Do you have any pics of the baby ducks you guys have hatched??
