Incubating Mandarin duck eggs
My Mandarin was sitting on 15 eggs, I checked them after 2 weeks and only 2 were fertile, I removed 7, she has since managed to break one of the two fertile ones! The remaining fertile egg is due to hatch this week although I wont hold my breath.
Has anyone here incubated Mandarin eggs in an incubator? I'm waiting on 12 arriving from the UK. Any tips for successful hatch? I use a Brinsea octagon 20 advance for my hen eggs and I've been getting 95-100% hatch rates and that's including shipped eggs.
Any advice much appreciated.
