how long after hatch are they walking?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I have a broody banty that hatched out some ducklings!

They've been hatched out about 12 hours, and i havent seen them actually walk much.  They stay mostly under mama.  if i take one and put it far from her, it tries to walk, but mostly hobbles/crawls back under her.

are they ok?

2 pair Muscovies, 2 pair Rouen, pair of snowy calls, pair of black east indies. colombian wyandottes, black australorps, rhode island reds, silver laced wyandottes, buff orpington, americaunas, 1 white silkie, and 1 white sultan

They're fine. Hatching is hard work and they need to rest. Quit bugging them and let the mama take care of them.
