  1. look at the eggs through the light of a flashlight and see if there is movement,

    As for warmth well perhaps a degree or 2 more....


  2. No, they'll never hatch.

  3. i dont think so usually it is 21 days sorry

  4. Eggs from common ducks like Pekins require 28 days to hatch. Eggs from Muscovy ducks hatch in about 35 days after setting.

    Always set eggs with the small end down, except in the case of small incubators that have no trays

    As the duckling develops inside the egg there is a loss of water from the egg and an increase in the size of the air cell. If the duckling is developing normally, the air cell should occupy about one-third of the space inside the egg at 25 days of incubation (common ducks). Weight loss can also be used as a guide. Common duck eggs should lose about 14% of their weight at time of setting by 25 days.

    For best results, set eggs within 1-3 days from the time they were laid. There is an average loss of about 3% hatchability for eggs stored 7 days before setting, and about 10% loss for those stored 14 days.

  5. keep them  safe

  6. 95 degrees is too low and it takes abt a month 4 eggs to hatch

  7. Sometimes it just depends mine hatched at 32 days. Just be patient. It sonds like you may have ratated them for to long so try to wait.

  8. um

  9. I think it has to be atleast 98 degrees.

  10. 95 is too low a temperature.  You'll need to candle the eggs to see if they are still alive.  If any are still alive, get the temperature back up to 99.
