"incubated for 27-28 days to hatching with 50-60 days to fledging

so 50-60 days i guess"

At best, this is an ill formed answer, as it is not accurate. Duck eggs hatch depending on the species of duck. Mallard ducks can hatch as early as 25 days, they do not follow the "28" scenario. They could also take as long as 35 days. Everything depends on the species, the incubator temp and its humidity.

The best bet is to candle your eggs at least weekly...carefully keep records of how the embryo is progressing (of course remove undeveloping or dead embryos) This is about the only method to gauge for sure when to stop turning the Mallard eggs. I hope this info aids someone.
