Spraying eggs how many times?

[monarc23]

HI there!

I will be getting my first duckie eggs here soon from backswampgirl, I could ask her but rather than swamp her with a bunch of questions I'll ask here in general.

Do I spray or soak the eggs? If so, how many times a day, once a day, once a week what?

Also do I turn them 3 times a day just like chicken eggs? I know they incubate longer and I swear they need cooled and then misted unless im thinking of another waterfowl egg.... soo just want some tips.

Thank you!

If its call ducks dont get the eggs wet what so ever. They are allergic to water.

I start cooling and misting on day 10. Cool the eggs about 10 min a day, and then mist them sometime during that cool down period with warm water. Do that until 3 days before the hatch.

Also, turn them 3x a day, or use an automatic turner.
