shipped duck eggs - how long should they settle and any tips

[ourlittleflock]

simple: how long should shipped duck eggs settle before placing in the incubator.. on chicken eggs I let them sit 6-12 hours until they feel room temp.

I have put in a request for call duck eggs so any tip of incubating them in a brinsea mini advance would be hopefully.. This will be my first attempt on duck eggs (I know why not start with the hardest eggs to hatch, from what I have been reading) If I am going to do it I jump in with both feet first

I let mine sit for a least a whole day before I put them in. It gives them a good rest.

Gosh, Im interested in this too. So please I saw this thread.
I also have an incubator that I used to hatch chickens last year. Im hoping to get another duck from a posted hatching egg so and advice on this would be much appreciated by me too! x

I have 4 Butterscotch Calls in my Brinsea ECO 20 due on March 3rd. I let them rest aprox. 12 hours. This is my first time with calls also. Not with ducks, I hatched 6 runners in Dec, in a homemade bator. And have 6 more runners in the Brinsea also, due Feb 24th.

Good Luck on your hatch
