Need help with Duck eggs.
So, long story short, my cat is the spawn of Satan and today she killed a mother duck that was sitting on her nest and killed 3 of the eggs before we got to her.
The eggs are still warm and if you look closely there are 4 of them. I have some reptile incubators but I'm not sure what temp to keep them at, anyone know?
(gona do some research while waiting)

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
99.5 and they need more humidity than chicken eggs but not as much as snakes. It is possible to incubate them without an incubator to.

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
My bad. I saw something that said that when I was searching for something else once. I just read up on it and the guys a joke. Something about tossing a towel over them and a heat lamp and trying to match exactly 99.5. But you have to flip the eggs every 3 hours and mist them constantly...incubators are the way to go

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
...unless you have a chicken..if you had a chicken you could stuff the eggs under her while she's nesting.

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
I've got a few dogs and a homicidal cat:P
If my goals were different that would probably work, but as it is I have a few cousins who want to see chicks hatch:P

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
You could probably hog tie the cat and shove the eggs under it...make it pay for its crime!

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
Keep use posted. Normally situations like this don't work out that well but best of luck. Make sure you turn them several times a day. Never tried ducks Im working on 26 quail incubating now.
