how long until they hatch?

It varies. Generally within 24-48 hours. The mixture of eggs and salt water should be heavily aereated. I have had the greatest success with shallow dishes where there is a high exposure of the egg/water mixture to air. On occasion eggs that have been sitting for a couple of days will hatch long after others from the same batch. If you decapsulate the eggs it reduces much of the messy shells and assists the larvae to emerge from the eggs. You can find instructions for decapsulated brine shrimp eggs on the internet. It usually involves the use of a bleach bath followed by a rinsing to neutralize the bleach before it destroys the eggs and larvae. It varies. Generally within 24-48 hours.

Less than 24 hours. Optimal nutrition via the yolk sack 24 hours to 36 hours. Be sure to harvest only the brine shrimp (which sink) and not the shells (which float). Super easy and great nutrition!

I bought some wooden eggs and put in the nest boxes. They are laying in them now took awhile.

Depends how many you have. It took me about 1 month. I still keep the traps out AND I have caught one or two. As you know, they lay eggs and I feel these are the ones that have hatched. I got rid of ALL of boxes, pasta, rice, crackers etc. Also you need to keep an eye on ones that are on the underside of your shelves. AND you need to keep all food in glass, or plastic containers. Hope this helps

I am guessing 3-4 hours but I am not sure. I usually put them in at midnight and they are ready to go by 6 am or so.

They may take 2 years before they are mature enough to breed. Problem it's keePing them alive that long. Most of mine last only a year.

About 7-10 days. They may look very small when you get them but they grow big very fast.

You need two kits...the first kills the mature parasites and then you take a 5 day break to allow eggs to hatch and start the second kit.

I would suggest that you add it for next time. You need to adjust and keep track of the temperature before adding your eggs to the incubator for at least 24 hours. In other words, you will have to keep a close eye on the temperature to maintain the eggs at the most constant temperature for hatching. Adding the fan will help but you need to make sure the temperature isn't too out of range.

yes wait till spring. it takes 1 or 2 years for them to become mature.They are tiny for a long time and may not make it over the winter

Mine took a month, still waiting on two to hatch. Maybe temp outside ?. Tiny ants got to one of the two yet to hatch. Waiting to see what happens with that one. Good luck !

I used what it came with, I think 1000....if you can get a smaller amount....and keep the factory at optimum conditions, they will multiply very quickly. Mine have had 4 hatchings in about 9 months. I will be getting another factory at end of this growing season......any other quest.....bluesman99026@msn.com....bless you, Tom

Jennifer, It will vary from species to species but in general, 4-7 days for an average nests. Now if the nest is unusually large or networked with lots of satellite colonies, it could take 1-2 weeks.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

mine hatched within a few days. The temp has to be above 75 for a few days for them to hatch.

It should take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours for the daphnia to hatch, depending on water temperature and light. The daphnia wont be noticeable for probably another 3 days after that. Hope this helps.

What do you do just buy the egg case? what do you have to do to hatch them?Do you water them? I live in rancho Cucamonga ca.

I doubt they will nest very well. i only have 1, but think it wont nest. let me know, also.

I'm not sure, I think so. Mine is packed away with my school stuff for April so I can't look at the instruction book. We did hatch quail eggs in last spring after hatching chicks. It takes about 7 chicken eggs, so maybe 5-6 duck eggs, just a guess.
