Hi I have had to put some call duck eggs in the incubator at the last moment when the mother duck abandoned her nest the other day. Two eggs hatched and she left the nest with them , unfortunately they died. So I'm trying to save the other eggs, only one seems to be working out. He started moving and tapping his beak last night and seemed quite active. This morning he's tapping his beak but less active. I'm worried if I should intervene as he's a call duck I know they find it hard to hatch sometimes. I'm new to this , have never done anything like this before so ! But really anxious for him to make it since the first 2 died ( we just found them by the pond frozen so think the mum took them outside too soon)
Should I just leave him in the incubator and let him do his thing or should I take him out and make a tiny air hole ? Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks.
