You could raise your humidity to 5 degrees over and then slip it out. That's what I do. Does that make sense?


But yay for the ducky!!

I don't have a hygrometer in the bator. I have better luck going with the amount that has worked for me and not stress over the number..I have a soaked wash cloth in there from when I took the first egg out.

How much should I give them and do I add sugar or anything to it? Need details.[/QUOTE]
I add around a tbsp per gallon, but don't measure it or anything. Just dump what I think looks right.

Both of ours. She buys the feed, I feed them, and find sellers for eggs.. Then we split on whatever we make off them.

I saw them, they are very pretty.

Since they aren't up and moving much yet can I give it in an eyedropper or should I just give them the polyvisol?

I'm curious what does apple cider vinegar and "Polyvisol" do for ducks/chickens?

Polyvisol is a vitamin

Remember, childrens liquid vitamins (polyvisol) is for little people, not little ducks. Only give it diluted once or twice. Baby ducks have different needs than baby people. IMO.

Ok, picture time before I go back outside.
The ducklings love the mud puddle, the goslings stick around eating grass.

My big ducklings watch from a safe distance.

And the incubator is full of resting ducklings.

x2. Don't want to hurt them trying to help, I'm guessing they just need time. Ducklings aren't supposed to eat or drink for 2 days after hatching.
