Is how do keep baby duck eggs without an incubator?
you could put them under a broody chicken. it may not work but you could try a heat lamp, they need one once they hatch anyway.
Will the body temp of a hen be enough to successfully hatch duck eggs?
Oh, yes. I have successfully hatched many ducks under broody hens for the past 35 years. In fact, when using an artificial incubator, the temperature for the chicken and duck eggs should be set at a steady 100F.
I added a duck egg in with my chicken the chicks hatched this morning the duck egg need a week what do i do?
Put the duck egg under another broody hen or bring it inside and place it in an incubator.
How do you hatch ducks in a science fair?
You need duck eggs and an incubator. See discussion.
How do you make a duck go broody?
It depends on the breed, some breed of ducks are more broody than others... There is nothing you can do to make a duck go broody and you can't stop a duck from being broody. When your duck starts to lay eggs don't take them away leave the eggs untouched when there are about 8-12 eggs laid in her nest she might go broody and incubate them until they hatch, while some other ducks will lay their eggs any place like in the middle of the garden, on the pen's floor etc,etc.... A broody duck will make a nest in a well hidden place and lay the eggs there.
Where can you get fertilized pigeon eggs and could i use them in a incubator?
I am not sure where to get fertilized pigeon eggs, but why not look into getting chicken or duck eggs. You can usually get them from a local farmer for free as long as you promise to return the young after they hatch. You are getting the same experience for free, or next to free! And Yes, chicken and duck eggs can hatch in an incubator.
If i gave my broody chicken a set of duck eggs to sit on what would happen?
She would happily hatch them out! I know of someone who hatched out ducks under a broody hen. They hatched out healthy but the mother hen was just a little surprised when her 'chicks' began to swim! :-)
Can a peeking duck egg hatch without a male peeking duck?
No. If the female attempted to hatch eggs without a male, the eggs won't be fertile, and the egg will just go rotten.
How should you control the temperature and humidity on two different clutches of duck eggs incubating in the same incubator at the same time with different hatch dates?
There's no need to. Some will just hatch sooner than others.
How do you know if a duck is broody?
If a duck is broody, it will lay on a 'nest' and make peculiar growling sounds when anyoneapproaches and she may become fairly aggressive.
Duck egg incubation?
It is unlikely you can salvage the hatch once the incubator fails unless you can bring the eggs back up to ideal temperature quickly. A cooling down of more than 6 hours will severely affect the hatch rate. You could supplement the temperature loss with heat lamps temporarily but replacement of the incubator or the thermo-wafer is recommended.
