Giardiasis is an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite called Giardia lamblia. It is a fairly common cause of diarrheal illness and it is estimated that over 2,000 cases occur in New York State each year. Cases may occur sporadically or in clusters or outbreaks.
Since duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs, setting trays must be designed to accommodate their larger size. Eggs from common ducks like Pekins require 28 days to hatch. Eggs from Muscovy ducks hatch in about 35 days after setting.When larger numbers of duck eggs are to be hatched, large commercial incubators (setters) and hatchers are normally used.Pekin duck eggs are kept in a setter for 25 days and then transferred on the 25th day to a hatcher where they remain until they hatch on the 28th day.Eggs are automatically turned while in the setter (usually hourly). It is not necessary to turn eggs in the hatcher.hen larger numbers of duck eggs are to be hatched, large commercial incubators (setters) and hatchers are normally used.

Most breeds require about 28 days of incubation. The similarities in hatching duck eggs to other eggs are that you need the same temperature (about 99.5 degrees F), the duck eggs need to be turned and you'll need a safe environment for them. A duck incubator can be the same incubator you use for other eggs.So if you already hatch chicken eggs and you want to try hatching duck eggs, you'll likely already have everything you need.he Hova-Bator and Little Giant incubators work great for incubating all breeds of duck. The Hova-Bator and Little Giant with universal/chicken egg racks accommodate duck eggs nicely. Each turner can hold up to 41 duck eggs. All of our combo kits also work great with duck eggs.
