How Long Do Duck Eggs Take To Hatch?
Answer
havemercy
Generally, eggs from normal ducks such as the Pekins hatch after twenty eight days. However, some species of ducks such as the Muscovy ducks take up to thirty five days to hatch. The eggs of ducks are generally larger than those of chicken and appropriate care should be taken to accommodate them during incubation.

You can incubate and hatch duck eggs yourself or you can allow a broody duck (or even a broody hen) to lay on them to incubate and hatch the eggs. Mallard duck eggs hatch after about 27 days of incubation. Muscovy duck eggs take 35 days to hatch. Pekin duck eggs and most other duck eggs hatch after 28 days of incubation.
