Great info! Thanks. Here in the south we call them Muscovy (musk-oh-vee) ducks.

Thank you, really helpful information in this video, I do have a question though, you say duck eggs arnt a normally high hatch rate, If I wanted to end with a maximum of 5 and no less than 3 ducklings, how many would you set in the incubator? I know you can't say for sure but this is what im struggling with. Ideally I only want 4, but am unable to purchase ducklings therefore im forced to hatch. What would you do?

I’ve seen some info say from day 10 to day 25 you should open the incubator, spray the eggs with water mist, and let them cool to about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Have you ever heard this?

Duck eggs can be viable for longer than 3 days as long as the weather is not cold look up how Mallards keep nests and have eggs

I'm guessing there's no more free e book? I also can't find any link to your website in either the description or elsewhere in your YouTube content

This was so helpful as we beed more girls and my duck girl is laying

Regular Ducks are easy to hatch with a quality incubator the real challenge are Muscovys. Commercial hatcheries only get a 70% success rate. Getting the right Humidity levels during lock down is crucial to their success

Hello...when incubating at what day of the incubation period you start turning the eggs?

[agaimless]

I've been looking Through your channel. I don't see nothing about chicken Incubators Can you make an in-depth video about chicken Incubators and incubating chickens temperatures and stuff like that?

[maryminenko]

Excellent advice please add centigrade temps for us in countries that do not use Fahrenheit

What could be causing my duck egg to turn green 2 weeks after putting them in the incubator?

[tammy]

I want to try it for duck eggs but if I accidentally injure or kill a baby I’ll be highly upset. I think I need to investigate more. Thank you

Is incubating duck eggs then releasing into the wild at a large pond in the spring a viable practice?

[eller]

At 5 days i candled my pekin duck eggs and saw veins with a little dot in the middle in 11 of the 12 eggs. On day 9 1 only see lark dark spots, no veins, or very little veins. Did I kill my ducklings?

[ummerfa]

what is the temperature and humidity exactly?sir

[lutetube]

Seems 98°F is too low, is this right? I have been using 99.5°F Thanks!

My male duck tries to sit on egg and the female has a fit. Also I found an egg, the size of a bird's egg, in coop but she's been having good eggs before and after ..weird...why??

[RichardGardee-eqqi]
