50 years ago my dad hatched chick and turkey eggs, in a Sears incobater successfully, he tried 12 pekin eggs and got one duck. It's possiable he didn't know how? BTW the duck did fine till a kid broke it's neck @ around two weeks.

ouch...poor little guy :(
I know it's tricky because you have to keep a perfect humidity level and temp ect..I'm using a small cooler,with a light for the heat,a damp towel underneath them and an extra bowl of water to keep the humidity levels high. never done this and thought it would be a good experiment. And I will keep those that do hatch out(if they do at all)
wish me luck!!

Guess what? I've candled the eggs,and all 5 have started to vein!! I can't beleive it...my little invention worked..(so far) don't want to get too excited yet but it's working! :)

Good deal !! I don't see why your set up won't work. Like you stated, an experiment, Good luck and hope you get to enjoy the ducks,

AAWWW! I'm so excited for you, Beeliz! Let me know if they hatch!!!! Are these part pekin and part mallard???

Thanks Gennym...I'm so excited now,they now at 14 days of incubation have really been moving inside the eggs! All 5 of them!! I'm taking it day by day...I've had the cooler at 95 all along and hope it's going to be alright cause they say it should be at 99-102...we'll see. It's scary because there seems to be so many things to watch out for to prevent deformities and them surviving the hatch at all....
These eggs are 100% pekins Gennym, it's my 2 that I have paired this fall after the mishap with the other duck ...these 2 are so cute together. I'll keep you posted. By the way,your birds are adorable! Good for you... :)

Neat, pekins are such pretty ducks. I use to have one named Apple and she was so sweet.

It's exciting waiting on them! It's fun a day or a few hours before they're about to hatch because you can hold the egg up close to your ear and here them peeping and chirping! It's so cute!

Thanks. The cockatiels have grown so much! We decided to keep them both instead of giving them away!

Here was my pekin.

I LOVE pics! What a sweet duck...aren't they the cutest things ever? :)
I don't blame you for keeping your cocketiels..I also kept all my finches,remember? lol
I had people that wanted them,but I couldn't do it either,I just got a bigger cage for the family and they're all happy now, 10 is my limit!

AWW! I probably would have kept all the finches too! I've never had one before, but they are cute and really pretty.

How's the duck eggs?

But oh yeah, ducks are just one of my favorite animlas in the world! My 2 favorite ducks that I've ever had are Jake and Topaz. They were sisters. We don't have them anymore. Topaz got killed by a dog and Jake just grieved herself so much that she died one day. They were like dogs, not ducks. They both would follow us around the yard! Here is a picture of them....they were muscovies...

Topaz

Jake

{{gwi:36285}}

This is Jake's only baby she ever had and his name is JRose. He looked just like his mom!

{{gwi:36286}}

Here is one of Topaz's daughters. She had 12 babies.

Her name is Diego

{{gwi:36287}}

This duck was the love of Jake's life. He was JRose's daddy. His name is Snowflake,,,

{{gwi:36288}}

This duck is Shadow and he was Topaz's boyfriend. He was the daddy to all of her babies.

{{gwi:36289}}

This is JR. She looks just like her daddy, Shadow..

{{gwi:36290}}

This is Sue. (we thought he was a girl at first, so that's where he got the name --LOL (Sue and Shadow are brothers. I can't belive it because they look so different...

{{gwi:36291}}

Here is Jamoca; he's a mallard

{{gwi:36292}}
Jamoca's best bud was Troy and I still have her...here she is...

{{gwi:36293}}

Well, those are some of the ducks I've had....but my favorites were Jake and Topaz. I've had about 25 different ducks and they have all been special to me, but Jake, Topaz, Sue, Shadow, Snowflake, Troy and Jamoca will always be the main ones that made me fall in love with all ducks.

I use to call them 'The fantastic 7'

Well, I hope I haven't taken over your post here! LOL I just got to sending pictures and thought I'd go ahead and show you some of my favorites.

Talk to you later :)

Genny

I love them! I wish I could send you pics too..as soon as I figure out how!! I'll be like you soon with all those adorable ducks..hopefully..They're moving like crazy in their eggs today! 10 more days to go..I really hope it goes ok. I'll keep you posted ok? bye till later...

I hope goes well too! I'm sure it will though. It's so exciting, isn't it? I remember how I was when our baby ducks hatched! I kept going out and checking on them every 10 minutes...finally we brought them and Topaz in the house to let them hatch! Jake (Topaz's sister) helped her sit on the eggs the whole 30 something days! LOL They were so cute.... Yeah, please let me know how they do...
