28-day duck egg calendar

Common domestic duck eggs need a longer calendar than chicken eggs. This page keeps duck candling, lockdown, and daily notes on one printout.

  • 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.
