When hatching duck eggs I put a wet sponge in the incubator when it starts to dry out wet it again- and always use warm water. 2 clutches? Do u have more then one hen? I find it odd shed do that.. are all the eggs in one nest? A mallard could well hmm hatch 8-10 eggs i think. I would suggest you do one of two things: (a) Cull the excess eggs because it is unlikely she will be able to hatch a very large clutch of eggs successfully. As tempting as it may be to try to let her hatch out 2 dozen or more, you are probably wasting her time and yours. (b) Invest in an incubator for the excess eggs. However, I have been told by poultry people that duck eggs can be difficult to hatch because of moisture/humidity concerns.
What else can I help you with?

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?
You can keep the temperature consistent throughout by setting it at the level required for the eggs that need the higher temperature, which should be the second clutch. To manage the humidity, you can separate the two clutches with a barrier to allow for varying humidity levels, catering to the needs of each clutch. Monitor the incubator closely to ensure that both clutches are receiving the appropriate conditions for successful incubation.
