Hi, I was wondering how long indian Ruunner duck eggs take to hatch ?

[Lesley]

They take 28 days, same as most duck eggs. We just hatched some thinking they were all Campbells - we didn't think the Indian Runner was laying. When they hatched we realised it was the older Campbell who had stopped laying and half our hatchlings were from the Indian Runner. They all hatched on day 27.

Thank you very much. The other couple of questions I have are, can you hatch duck eggs with hen eggs ? And are Indian Runners quite a nice breed of duck?

[Lesley]

It would be difficult to hatch bith together as hen eggs take 21 days - not impossible but probably not a good idea.

 

Indian Runners are lovely!
