Now that I have my new drake (thanks again Hidden!!) I want to see if I can hatch a duckling or two. I am wondering if I need to do anythig special for collecting and storing duck eggs or do I proceed like with chicken eggs?

I do the same storage with ducks as with chickens, I do spritz them when I remember.

I treat them just like chicken eggs too... never did the spritzing and stored them up to 9 days at around 60% humidity and flipping once a day. Still had 100% fertility and 8/9 hatch on batch 1.

They seem to be even easier to hatch than chicken eggs for me!
