It has been 25 days since my 2 duck eggs have been in the incubator. Do I stop turning them now? Or how many days do I have to still turn them?

I'd say yes stop turning them they will be getting ready to pop out :lol: ,
normally duck eggs take 28 days although Muscovies take longer :)

Hope all goes ok and you get some babies  :)

Eek. It says to keep the temp. for ducks at 102.. I've kept it at 99.5 because that's what I read.. idk.

But anyways.. The 2 eggs are suppose to hatch any day now. The one egg is already starting to become chipped and cracked. And I swore I heard a little duck chirping last night  :shock:   Is that possible?

I was really surprised Snaphappi, having got used to Chook eggies taking a day or so I was pacing like a gooden with the ducklings. They took nearly 3 days from first crack and chirping, so you're in for a bit of a wait :roll:  :roll: WITH THE CAMERA OF COURSE :wink:  :D
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!!

3 days?? Eek. I can actually hear him tapping the side of it... And there's a tiny spot of the outside of the shell missing, and a little crack coming down. So I really hope he comes out soon. Its kind of silly, but I've always wanted to have an incubator and eggs  :lol: [ever since i was about 8]   But yeah.. It's really cool.. Because he was one of the eggs that I found in the bottom of our pond. lol. So I'm surprised he's actually hatching :D
