In A Guide to Better Hatching, by Janet Stromberg, She suggests for most ducks 28 days at 99.5 degrees. Muscovy ducks take 35-37 days. A still air incubator is recommended and increasing the temperature by 2 to 3 degrees. The book can be gotten by contacting Stromberg Publishing Box 400, Pine River, Minnesota 56474. All kinds of poultry, advice is found in the book. Happy hatching. Dogma

Ducks usually incubate their eggs for about 28 days
Wild ducks certainly do and many farms have ducks that set eggs each spring but there are hatcheries that incubate duck eggs just as most chickens are produced in a hatchery.
You can incubate Peking Duck eggs within 7-10 days of them being laid. If your duck has abandoned the eggs, you can try to carefully move them to an incubator or a warm, quiet place for artificial incubation. Make sure to follow proper incubation procedures and humidity levels for successful hatching.
Mallard ducks typically incubate their eggs for about 28 days. This means the eggs will likely hatch around a month after being laid. However, factors like temperature and weather can also affect the hatching time.

Don't do that, the temperature is too high and not suitable for eggs incubation.
Hello, you should incubate the eggs at around 84 degrees F :)

Ducks typically lay about one egg per day until they have a clutch size of 8-12 eggs. Once they have reached this clutch size, the duck will start sitting on the eggs to incubate them.
To successfully incubate eggs at home, you will need a reliable incubator set at the correct temperature and humidity levels. Place the eggs in the incubator with the pointed end facing down and turn them several times a day. Monitor the temperature and humidity regularly, and be patient as the eggs develop over time.
They sit on them to incubate them, to encourage growth by providing temperature and security
That happened to me last year. I bought an incubator and was able to hatch the eggs. Those same ducklings are now laying this year. As they lay, I gather the eggs and incubate. So, far we have 3 ducklings and about 6 in the incubator.
