In A Guide to Better Hatching, by Janet Stromberg, She suggests for most ducks 28 days at 99.5 degrees. Muscovy ducks take 35-37 days. A still air incubator is recommended and increasing the temperature by 2 to 3 degrees. The book can be gotten by contacting Stromberg Publishing Box 400, Pine River, Minnesota 56474. All kinds of poultry, advice is found in the book. Happy hatching. Dogma
Incubation Period Hatching Period Days 1 through 25 Days 26 through 28 Temperature 99.5° Fahrenheit 98.5° Fahrenheit Humidity 86% 94% Turns Per Day 3, 5, or 7 Stop Turning
99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.5 degrees Celsius) is optimum incubating temp. for duck eggs with the temp. being lowered by one degree to 98.5 in the last 3 days of incubation (25-28th day).
Lowest temp. - highest temp. range is 97 - 102. If the incubator stays at either of these extremes however, the embryo will die or be severely affected resulting in an overall decreased hatch rate.
A real accurate thermometer is needed for any incubator. For Ducks it should be set at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit at first...run the incubator empty for at least a day to make sure it stays stable at that temp. Then the eggs can be placed in the incubator for 25 days at that temp. Days 26-28 the temp should be 98.5 remember to only change a half degree at a time and wait for several hours to make sure it has become stable at that temp before adjusting again. If you don't wait for it to get stable you will tend to over adjust and possibly kill the eggs. If you don't get down to the ideal temp on schedule for day 26 don't panic..it is not as critical as over adjusting too fast.
Humidity is also very important. Humidity should be 86 for the first 25 days and 94 thereafter.
Also if your incubator does not have a automatic turner you will need to turn the eggs an odd number of times each day so that they don't sit on the same side too many times for a long period of time. I mark mine with an X on one side so I know which side has been up last. An automatic turner does it every hour. I do it 5 evenly spaced times through out my day and make sure if the x was up one night it is not the next.
i do not know just keep it warm and wate up to 40 days for it to hach if it dose not hach then there was not a baby duck in the egg

Ducks usually incubate their eggs for about 28 days
Get an oil and put the oil to the prying pan and get the egg and cook it........

THEY NEVER INCUBATE THEIR EGGS BECAUSE THEY LAY THEIR EGGS IN OTHER BIRDS NESTS AND THOSE BIRDS INCUBATE THEIR EGGS AND THATS A FACT....

Don't do that, the temperature is too high and not suitable for eggs incubation.
Hello, you should incubate the eggs at around 84 degrees F :)
# Medium hot and cold eggs .

They sit on them to incubate them, to encourage growth by providing temperature and security
Peacock eggs hatch in 28 days. After being incubated at a steady temperature of 99.5 degrees. For best results try and stay between 99.0-100.0.

Most ducks incubate and hatch their eggs in about 28 days. If your duck has been sitting on her eggs for 5 or more weeks, the eggs are likely infertile. If this is the case, you should remove the infertile eggs so the mother duck can get back to feeding and exercizing.
No, the eggs and the hen kind of go hand in hand. A chickens body temperature is 101-102ºF. That happens to also be the temperature that the eggs need to incubate at. Since the chicken cannot warm the eggs to a higher temperature than she is, the hen herself cannot overheat the eggs.
