-Rotate 4 or more times a day
-Squirt with warm water each time you rotate eggs
-let cool for 20 min each day
-candle day 1,7, and 25
remove any eggs that are not viable
lock down last 3 days
-hatch some cute ducks
Our eggs are Welch harlequin eggs. I candled the eggs regularly to show growth expectancy and measures the air sac as it grew. Air sac should grow to loose 1:3 its weight by the end of the hatch

Thank you thank you!! The directions that came with the incubator were not clear about how to set the days to 28. You are a life saver!
Your video is the best! Your video helped me hatch 8 ducklings last year. I just took the incubator out of the box to hatch again. Please don't let the negative comments get you down. Im a mom of 6 and things happen. Keep posting!
I really like this little incubator. I set six pekin duck eggs in it and have 4 out of 6 hatched and 2 pipped and progressing. It holds temps really nicely and humidity isn't too bad to control. Thanks for the video.
Hia, do you know if it is possible to turn down the volume on it?
Love the smiley faces on the eggs to mark rotation
Didn’t even think about a double yoke. Glad I watched this before I started. Thanks for the video!
Glad I watched
I’m gonna ‘😊borrow’ your smiley face technique for marking eggs
Thank you so much for this video. I was not sure how to change from chicks to ducks first of all.....and so many other good tips!! Thanks again!
I have this incubator for my Call duck eggs and they fit just fine. Love this incubator.
Hi, since you have this incubator, do you know if the sound can be turned down?
Did you leave the egg turner in?
I have this incubator and it slightly turns the eggs for me. In a 24 hour span they have turned over. I mark the X and smiley face too. Unless this is a newer make idk but it does it all. Automatically stops turning on day 25 as well. I just have to remove a yellow separator it comes with to space them out some to hatch. Great video.
Really neat video…I’m 1 day till hatch. I whistled no movement lol
Very cool. I just ordered mine for chicken eggs. Kids are going to give it a whirl.
Hi, since you got one do you know if you can turn the sound down?
Thank You very helpful video !!
I have 8 eggs and all are developing. I noticed one of the eggs doesn't have a light side. Is there more than one duck?
I wish I had seen your video before I started incubating my first batch of ducks. We are at t-10 now and I’ve had one explode in the incubator and I think 2 are either doa or non viable. Mine were shipped so I’m sure that’s part of it. Hopefully end up with 4 ducklings from 8.
Great video. Thanks!
Isn't there something i can fashion to allow the egg turner to work? I'm not sure i can commit to every 4 hours for a month.
Hi, love the video. Do you think it will turn turkey eggs ok ? I’d love to use the egg turner option.
Can i put with the mama duck right before hatch or a few days after hatch? I did chicken eggs before and when i saw a crack. I put with Mama chicken. She protected it from the start. I did this because she sat and sat on infertile eggs and i wanted her to stop sitting lol
Note: they've never say on eggs before. Still young
Do you start spray after ten days?
nice
Hia, please answer this comment, can you turn down the sound on this incubator? I just got mine and the beeps are so loud?
Oh man. I wish! They’re SO loud
@@sapphireskiesfarm8296 I know right
What do you meaning let’s cool 20mins each day? Do you mean take the eggs out of the incubator for 20 mins each day?
What temperature should you start on the incubater with duck eggs day 2?
Keep temp at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
@@sapphireskiesfarm8296 thank you😊
Hello I just bought 1 but it so noise. How about you did it make noise too ?
Hi please answer this asap, I'm incubating duck eggs right now in the same incubator you are using, and they are in lockdown right now and today is day 28 and they havnt piped yet, is that normal??????
Did they hatch??
@@jenwlloyd yesssss, I have 10 so far and a 100% hatch rate so far, 7 more to go very excited thanks for asking :)
If I keep the egg turner in do I still need to spay them 4 times a day?
Do you think 11 baby ducklings can fit in this incubator? I have 11 possible
I'm thinking of buying this specific kind is it good? Like holds a steady temp and humidity
I just got mine, seems to stay at the humidity and temp pretty well, there were a lot of happy people on the reviews, I have not used mine yet because i currently have another incubator going with eggs right now, the janoel-10, I really love the j-10 because all of my eggs, all 13, I stacked a couple, all that should show signs are, and are moving, it doesnt show the humidity but you can always buy a humidity reader and put it at the bottom, and it has temperature in celcius, tell me how it goes! Good luck
I used it for a solid year one batch right after another. I found that it held humidity and temp for the full year and then it started to decrease. So I just used a hydrometer and thermometer and adjusted the temp as needed. I’ve been using it for 1.5 years consistently
@@sapphireskiesfarm8296 do you know how to hatch swan eggs??
@@sapphireskiesfarm8296 and how many days do you need to incubate swan egg
@@gamingwithbacons7025 I have never hatched swan eggs but I hear they can be kind of tricky. Depending on what the breed is the incubation time will vary. They are a water fowl so will need higher humidity like ducks and geese. But like I said I’ve never done them so I can’t share my experience.
Why did you take the egg turner out. I left mine in. Am i doing it wrong?
Absolutly not
If your eggs fit then it’s all good. Mine just didn’t fit right.
@sapphire skies farm any temp and humidity problems?
How do you change the timer to 28 days
love your video, it was very useful and helpful. this is my first time hatching my ducks eggs and do not have an actual incubator but instead using a huge wood box that we built for our ducks when they were ducklings and putting the heat lamp over the labeled eggs to have it be about 99.5 degrees. the eggs are laying on healthy shredded wood chips and spraying four times a day and turning them as i spray. is this a good enough way to take care of them, will they hatch? do you have any tips? also i was wondering what do you mean by when you say in the video putting the eggs in "lockdown" is that where you shut the incubator heat off and keep them in there as you watch them hatch? it would mean a ton if you could answer to this comment, it would be so helpful!!! thanks:)
Lockdown is when you increase the humidity and do not open the incubator until the eggs have hatched and the birds have fluffed up. The temp should be kept still at about 99.5. Sounds really neat the incubator you made
Did you have a successful hatch?
@@sapphireskiesfarm8296 they got moldy in the inside and starts to stink. so decided next year to just get an actual incubator or let me ducks keep their eggs to hatch themselves just don't know how well my ducks would be mothers 😅
@@leximorisset3229 bummer. I was hoping it worked out.
How many water to apply for this incubator
IT says that the egg turner will work for duck eggs also. Will they not fit in the egg turner?
Mine didn’t dint in the egg turner. But they’re VERY large duck eggs. I know my Muscovy duck eggs fit just fine
What is the output on the power source of this?
Can you help me to hatch some muscovy eggs
I have a question does it work on any egg
I’ve used chicken, duck and quail in this incubator with success. My goose eggs are a bit too big
Hello there beautiful can you give me duck eggs for my incubator please. 😐😐😐
That's horrible, I know hes 2 but you shouldn't let little kids or irresponsible people around the incubator, those were 2 lives that were just wasted, anyone who reads this please dont let that happen! 😔🙏
He is 2, and it was up on a kitchen counter, he had pushed a chair over and did what he did. He learned his lesson and we have successfully hatched many since then. I would never have allowed him to hurt the animals, but mom has to use the restroom sometimes and kids are quick.
@@sapphireskiesfarm8296 yes I know but it doesnt make it any less horrible, just stinks because those little lives were so close to hatching, not making you out to be a bad mom or anything, I just find those things sad
Give it a break Willy. Yes it's sad, but you're being very judgmental. Kids mess up, it's part of being kids, especially LITTLE kids. And it's not like she just let him be around it, kids have a way of getting into things they're not supposed to. Our 2 year old managed to break the baby lock off the door to the room where our brooder was while I was in the bathroom. He was in there for maybe 3 minutes before my five year old saw him and started freaking out screaming for me. Needless to say 2 year old hugged one chick to near death. Really thought it wasn't going to make it. It was pretty lifeless for about 10 minutes and then it was ok. But stuff happens, you can't help it.
Believe it or not, God made eggs very fragile but also gifted them a quick incubation period.
I know this is a year ago, but seriously. Shit happens and even ADULTS make mistakes.
@@livvybottini2289 I’m 15 now and I’ve done some growing up since then lol, sure it sucks that those lives didn’t make it but I’m not sure why I commented lol, I was hatching eggs and I hate when animals die like anyone else but I should have just not said anything 😂
Welch???? uh,..........
