I just love the rainbow of eggs that you have! I put my cochin eggs in this morning. I am getting another bator tomorrow so it will be ready when my other set of eggs comes this week!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

Does the length of incubation depend on the breed of chicken/fowl or is it pretty standard across the board?

LOL!!!
HOORAY! Duck Eggs!!!

The duck, pea, & guinea eggs should take about 28 days,

If they are duck eggs (as I said, I can't promise anything!) they would for sure be pekin mixes, as they are the ones that lay really big eggs here. They could be pure pekin, or mixed with either rouen or cayuga.

The guineas are buff dundotte.

momto5rascals2angels~~Technically, chicken eggs are supposed to take 21 days, but most of my bantams hatch on day 19 or 20, even when the hens set them. Seramas are supposed to take about 18 days.

my temp in my fake egg has been holding a steady 99.7 almost all day

Buff something-dotte was all that came to mind!
Even if the duck eggs hatch out chicks instead of ducklings, I'm still extremely grateful that you went out digging through the weeds to let me have the chance to hatch ducklings!

Maybe we'll end up with 2 RIRs named Donald & Daisy!

 

[shelleyd2008]

Yeah, it's more like 'digging through the ragweed forest', but it's all good!

Hope you have a great hatch!!

(and I hope they are ducks!!

)
