Who has incubated duck and chicken eggs together?

[tonini3059]

I have a batch due to hatch tomorrow. 3 of my chicken eggs have pipped, but none of the ducks. The ducks eggs just seem to dance around. Is it normal for them to start later when they were put in earlier. They are call duck eggs if that matters.
Thanks a lot

I haven't done them together, but I know ducks need higher humidity. Hope they hatch for you.

I have never hatched duck eggs, but just wanted to send happy hatching vibes your way!

I hope they hatch for you!!!

I plan to do this eventually (chickens and duck eggs together) so im curious how it goes for you and what others say

Ducks take about 28 days to hatch. I have hatched out goose egg's with my chicken egg's, and they have hatched just fine. How long has it been for your duck egg'?

Call duck eggs should take about 24 days to hatch.

Thanks! I am excited it is our first try at hatching eggs so i'm super nervous something is going to go wrong. Especially now that I have been reading call ducks are hard to hatch.

They are on day 25. I stuck them in on Dec 19th.

Quote:
Call ducks usually pip the air sac day 25 or early day 26, and pip the shell day 26, and hatch either late in day 26 or early in day 27.
