Bedroom duck egg blue: Duck egg bedroom ideas to see before you decorate

Duck egg bedroom ideas to see before you decorate

If you’re looking for bedroom colour schemes, look no further than our duck egg bedroom ideas. Duck egg blue is a popular choice for bedrooms for good reason. Not only is it romantic and pretty, but cool and calming too. This adaptable bedroom colour is available as a variation of either pale green or pale blue and is a step up from white, yet it remains subtle even when used liberally. Its name is taken quite literally from its resemblance to the tone produced on the egg shells of certain breeds of poultry and exotic birds.

A more chic term often used for the palest duck egg hues is eau de Nil, which translates as ‘water of the Nile’, so reflects the calming watery green hues of the majestic African river.

Duck egg is described in the dictionary as a pale blue-ish green and, when teamed with certain complementary or contrasting colours, you can bring out various shades of the versatile colour to create an array of moods in your bedroom.

Classic coastal schemes using blue are inspired by the ocean, and while we usually think of deep sea, cerulean or turquoise oceans, duck egg blue is when the ocean reflects a soft gray sky and is more green than blue.

Why are duck eggs blue?

Biliverdin, a green pigment, and blue oocyanin are by-products of the breakdown of bile and hemoglobin. If biliverdin and oocyanin are present in the eggshell, they permeate the entire shell, which is why blue and green eggs are colored both inside and out.

Incubation of duck eggs: incubation mode, table

Incubation of duck eggs: incubation mode, table

Every poultry farmer knows that each type of poultry has a different incubation period. This is primarily due to the fact, land bird or waterfowl. For example, eggs in geese and ducks contain a large amount of fat and are heavier than chicken . Therefore, duck egg incubation will have its own characteristics . First, it has a long duration – from 26 to 28 days. Secondly, you need to observe a special temperature regime. I will tell you about all this and other subtleties in this article.

The whole process begins with the traditional selection of hatching eggs. The average weight of a duck egg is 80 grams , it is much heavier than a chicken egg,

and has a strong shell. Freshness is very important for the successful incubation of duck eggs, so they should be stored for no more than five days at a temperature of 8-13 C, turning three to four times a day. The only exception to the rule is Muscovy duck, which shows the best results if the eggs lie even 10 to 15 days.

When I started breeding ducks in my household, I noticed that their eggs are much dirtier than those of other types of birds. Often they are infected with mold and various infections. Therefore, before laying in the incubator, it is necessary to carefully examine each egg and put into marriage all those that have a non-standard shape, calcareous growths, cracks, damage, as well as two-yolk specimens. After selecting , I will definitely disinfect the eggs with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and carefully remove dirt with a soft sponge.

The first stage of incubation of duck eggs is seven days from the date of laying. On it, organs are born in the embryo and the heart begins to beat. Therefore, during this period it is very important to ensure good warming up for the eggs, for this I set the temperature in the incubator to 38 – 38.2 C at a humidity of 70% . The second period begins on the 8th day, from this moment the skeleton of the embryo begins to form. The temperature needs to be reduced to 37.8 degrees . At the same time, I increase the air exchange in the incubator, for which I open new ventilation holes.

Like all waterfowl, duck eggs contain a lot of fat and little water. Under natural conditions, this allows you not to freeze in cold water. For the incubation of duck eggs at home, this fact, on the contrary, creates some troubles – in order to avoid overheating of the embryo, the eggs must be periodically cooled. To do this, I first conduct air cooling – I open the incubator door for 15-20 minutes, and then I spray the eggs with water with the addition of potassium permanganate from a spray bottle. The whole process takes about 25 minutes twice a day.

Let’s move on to the third stage of incubation of duck eggs – up to 18 days, heat transfer in the egg increases. Its temperature can reach 40-42 degrees. Usually I set during this period to 37.8 ° C and humidity 60% . At the fourth stage, the chick hatches. The shell of duck eggs is quite dense, and when pecking begins, I try to provide high humidity and ventilation in the incubator. This softens the shell a bit and helps the ducklings hatch.

Duck Egg Incubation Chart

Period	Timing	Temperature	Humidity	Swivel	Egg cooler
1	1 – 7 day	38.0-38.2°C	70%	4 times a day	no
2	Day 8 – 14	37.8°C	60%	4-6 times a day	no
3	15 – 25 day	37. 8°C	60%	4-6 times a day	2 times a day for 15-20 minutes
4	26 – 28 day	37.5°C	85-90%	no	no

*This incubation mode from the table gives me the maximum percentage of hatchlings, tested repeatedly!

During the entire incubation period, duck eggs should be turned about 6 times a day. For me, an incubator with an automatic flip has become indispensable in this process, otherwise, along with cooling and spraying, it will not be possible to leave the unit

If you have been attentive to the selection of hatching eggs and compliance with all process conditions, then your newborn ducklings will hatch in a friendly fluffy company.
