ducks
high humidity, turn 3 times a day and mist with water once a day. most ducks are 28 to 30 days. Muscovey is 32 to 35 days and a few are 25 days. I usually go 1/2 degree higher in still air
I have 12 Gray runners in now due about the17th. 10 out of 12 are developing. Best shipped eggs I ever bought

I'd love to follow along as both of your duck eggs hatch. Such fun...
Me too.
Hope I didn't miss this info on another thread -- tomorrow is hatch day for your ducks, right Donna? How are things so far?
some Mandies & 1 Chestnut-breasted teal hatched the 11 and runners due tomorrow, then more Mandies on the 20th. And wouldn't you know it is pretty darn cold out there right now. The Mandy babies are fine but the Chestnut Teal was dead this morning. They are really hardy. Don't know about the Runners but think I won't give them a pool until if warms back up in a few days
ok help; i looked at my duck eggs and they are clear no show at all some look like theywere never turned did them 3 times a day i have 2 hens with 4 males any one have any ideas i see them mate help cookie ps i set the eggs may 3
Sorry to hear about your Teal baby, very happy to hear the rest are doing well!!!
