28-day duck egg incubation chart
Common domestic duck eggs need a longer hatching calendar than chicken eggs. This page turns the duck egg incubation chart into a dated printout with candling, lockdown, and daily notes.
- This preset uses 28 days from set date to expected hatch.
- Lockdown is shown on day 25.
- Candling checkpoints are shown on days 7, 14, 25.
Duck note
Most common domestic duck eggs hatch in about 28 days. Duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs, so track air cell and humidity carefully.
Plan mixed species for one hatch day
Choose a target hatch date to see when each species would need to be set. This helps compare staggered starts before committing to a mixed hatch.
