1st time hatching! (Hatched today!)

[Welshduckmom]

This is just a brag post, not to me but to the beautiful babies who hatched today! We started with shipped welsh harlequin eggs and we got 4 beautiful babies today! 3 girls and 1 boy we believe from Bill color. Any advice is appreciated we are new at this!

EEEEEEE! Congratulations! I'm shaking with excitement, as I suffer from Chick Cuteness Syndrome...
Some advice, try leaving them in there until all eggs have hatched, and if they have all hatched, wait for them to be fully dry before taking them out to cuddle. I usually give them electrolytes in their water just to give them a boost. Remember, they can stay in their bator for a/b 3 days, since they ate their yolk before hatching. Have a great time with those cuties!!!

congratulations on your new cuties! Great gender ratio too <3

Now you get to watch them grow up (too quickly!). I think watching ducklings for their first swim is one of the most adorable things in the world ^^

Yes they are staying inside the 'bator until they are fully fluffy then into the brooder they go! We are super excited we actually got a few of them hatching on video. Super happy with our first attempt! Does anyone know the V&E to water ratio for ducks?
