Ducks need higher niacin content. I prefer to use flock raiser feed. I do the first week with gamebird/showbird feed, then switch to flock raiser.

Incubating them is tricky because of the short necks and short bills. They sometimes have trouble pipping and zipping, depending on the line and how typey they are. Mine usually need assisting to hatch.
I run temps 99.5-100.5, Brinsea Octagon incubators. Dry incubation where humidity stays 25-35%, increase humidity to 65-75% on day 24, is my usual guidelines.
