Incubator is busy this time of year and 80 muscovey duck eggs due to hatch Easter Saturday (takes 35 days for these guys) so if all goes well will post some pics. Ringneck Pheasants will be next in as the breeding stock have just started laying.

Good luck! Do you sell them to people for easter?
Along with grassfed beef, lamb and pork we sell free range duck eggs in the farm store

I never had good luck hatching duck eggs...would maybe get 2 or 3 to hatch...and yet can hatch 100% of the chicken eggs...I think there's a trick we never learned.

Is there enough humidity? That's critical for duck eggs to hatch!

Same here - Ive had great results with chickens and pheasants but first time for ducks
Eggs were candled so no probs there and humidity good
