OK, I had 5 cayuga duck eggs in the incubator but had some serious temp control problems and I also neglected to turn them due to being slammed with things to accomplish the last couple of weeks.
I didn't expect them to hatch at all.
THEY DID! I have two of the cutest baby ducks I've ever seen in my incubator!
Now that I'm past my shock, I have a couple of questions:
1. Can they eat regular medicated chick starter or do they need special food?
2. Can they go in the same brooder with my one surviving white leghorn chick who is 6 days old?
3. Anything else vital a newbie should know about raising baby ducks? I've raised tons of chicks, but this is my first baby duck experience!
Thanks!
