    How long can I leave ducks in the incubator

    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?
