Harvest Duck Eggs, incubate them and go to the market to sell | One Wish

Introduction:

Imagine a small dream: raising your own ducks, collecting their eggs, and transforming those eggs into a business. This one wish could turn into a rewarding journey of farming, self-sufficiency, and entrepreneurship. From gathering fresh duck eggs to incubating them, and finally selling the hatchlings or eggs at the market, this process connects a simple wish to nature’s cycle and the local economy.

Step 1: Harvesting Duck Eggs

1.1. Raising Ducks
To begin, you’ll need a small flock of ducks. Breeds like Pekin, Khaki Campbell, or Indian Runner are popular for their egg production. Ensure they have a safe and comfortable environment—ducks require a clean coop, access to a pond or water source, and nutritious feed to thrive.

1.2. Daily Egg Collection
Duck eggs are typically laid early in the morning, so collecting them daily is crucial to ensure freshness. Look for eggs in nesting areas or wherever your ducks roam. Handle the eggs carefully and store them in a cool, dry place if they are to be sold fresh.

1.3. Egg Selection for Incubation
If your goal is to incubate and hatch ducklings, select eggs that are clean, undamaged, and fertilized (from ducks with a drake). Fertilized eggs will have a better chance of success in the incubation process.

Step 2: Incubating Duck Eggs

2.1. Setting Up an Incubator
To incubate duck eggs, you’ll need a reliable incubator that maintains consistent temperature (99.5°F or 37.5°C) and humidity levels. Duck eggs require slightly higher humidity (around 55% initially) compared to chicken eggs. Most incubators come with settings for both temperature and humidity, making it easier to monitor.
