I'd like to join in with a dozen!

What breeds?

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

My little Harlequin quail have started laying again so I should have some of those to set Just need to make room for the incubator and I should be good to go

Speaking of quail, @ronott1 , I started getting some little eggs from my new year's quail babies. Yours should be starting any time now!

 

[BlueBaby]

Maybe I could sneak some eggs or more chicks home

I'll have some extra naked neck mixed hatching eggs if you stop by on your visit. I'm not going to do the Easter hatch.

What?! Oh yea, you'll have new babies already.

How long can you hold Pekin Duck eggs before you set them? I just found my first egg, unfortunately it was broken. I’m hoping I can collect at least a few eggs in the two weeks before the set date. Is that too long? For my chickens I only gather for one week but I get more eggs from them. I’m hoping I get at least six duck eggs to set.

They are best set in the first week, but I've had 2 week old eggs hatch, the hatch rate is lower though.

I’d like to join! This will be my first attempt at incubating eggs ever! I’d like to hatch our call ducks, Muscovy and possibly some silkie chickens. One question I have is with the different types of eggs can you use the same incubator or do I need more than one!?

One is all you need.
