Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Just been given 12 hatching Ducks Eggs (a mixture) what temps etc does the inccy need to be set at (complete Duck virgin here) also, do I still need to set the eggs 24 hrs prior to incubation like Hens? Any hatching tips appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Pets Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 On the internet it says that the incubator has to be 99.5 degrees farenheit or 37.5 degrees celcius. Also turn the eggs around so all parts of the eggs get heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Its the same tempo as hens eggs so 37.5 They need higher humidity before the end so dont put them in with hens eggs They take longer to hatch I think its 28 days Yes they need to settle and come up to room temp first same as hens eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
