➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Now might be a good time to get the brooder ready.


I was going to put them straight outside but I've changed my mind. I will keep them in until they all hatch...maybe two days.

You'll want to keep them in a very safe brooder with a constant heat source (which in your case might just be the air) for several days, until they're less wobbly and start feathering out. That happens faster than you think, by the way. They are suicidal and very fragile... I've lost several quail babies because I treated them like chicks. Shavings are too much for them to handle for a while, so I suggest paper towels.

I'm still trying to figure it out.

I have the light plugged into the reptile thermostat thing.
I have heating pad on half of the bottom on low. Waiting to see what the temp reads on it now.

I have it set to turn off at 30c what ever that is in normal degrees.

I might change the temp.
I will not be making it 95F though.

You guys are making me want to hatch chicks LOL

Maybe I need to try to induce a chicken to go broody
