    Taking ducklings out of the incubator?

    Not yet, the ducks are only 4 weeks old. My Roos are at my camp/farm which is about 45 minutes away from my home. Ducks aren't ready to go there permanently yet. When I do take them, they will be on the pond and have their own little place, but they will be allowed to mingle when I let the...

    Taking ducklings out of the incubator?

    In my opinion, the choice depends on your humidity. If you have a hard time keeping humidity up, I'd say leave them! I know how hard it is to watch them bowl the others over, but its natural and doesn't hurt anything. They can even entice the others to come out! On the human side, it feels...
