I have a friend that was a foster mum to baby mallards for the martin mere wwt, she says its fine - and i'm hoping to avoid most behaviour problems you experienced because there will be five of them rather than just the one x unfortunately our RSPCA does not deserve to be backed by our queen...
im not sure England is the same regarding laws, but there is wwt near to me that I worked at during uni when I studied animal behaviour and welfare so I will contact them and make sure, it would be pointless moving them half way through incubation as its a good hour away :)
Dry incubation is so easy! I might do it a little bit different because I only have a little brinsea mini eco lol....I don't have a hygrometer attatched to it. but what I do is put water in half of the well and wait until it disappears - then repeat all the way through, sometimes I wait a few...
a friend brought me 5 mallard eggs, mother had been killed so I candled them to see what was going on, they looked quite fresh. I popped them in my little incubator and after 2 days I candled them (very early I know) and I could see 5 spiders!!!!! (that's what I call the little veins ha) ...
