On this forum it says,
"For the last 2 weeks you should mist the eggs or dip them in warm water everyday"
and this,
"The duck eggs will take 28 days. They should be misted at least twice a day"






This site says,
"Misting Your Eggs
Some breeders suggest that you spray waterfowl eggs daily. This can be done with a small amount of slightly warmed water. You can then leave the incubator open for a minute or so afterwards. Sometimes this can be of benefit. If you do it, start at day 7 and do not spray after day 25. The actual consequences of spraying are interesting. It changes the membrane of the egg so a greater percentage of moisture is lost during incubation. Ideally, a duck egg looses about 13% of its weight between the time it is laid and day 25 of incubation. Loosing significantly more or less than this reduces hatchability."

Your welcome

Since they are/were my eggs from my birds, I am technically helping out my grandbabies

well 6 uncracked eggs came in. I cant believe how well you packaged these guys. They are resting on my bookshelf. I will put them in around 11PM. That will be a nice 9 hour rest. I will let you know in 28 days how your babies are doing
