How long can I leave ducks in the incubator

[JustAFarmer00]

My first duck just hatched and a few more are currently unzipping. Some of the other eggs are definitely fertile, but aren’t as far along yet. Worst case scenario, how long can I leave the ducks that have hatched in the incubator before they need more food/water?

I wouldn't leave them in more than 24 hours if you have more than 1 hatched.

The ducklings should be left in the incubator for around 12hrs so they can fully dry off and find their feet. Once the majority hatch they can be moved into the brooder.

If you need to keep them in the incubator longer they can go almost 3 days without food or water and still be fine.

I do chicks, bot ducklings, but honestly once at least 2 have hatched, I move them as soon as they're dried. Not fluffy, just dried.
