6 hours old duckling

[ash1994]

im just posting for some advice i had my very first little duckling hatch today i am just wondering how long does it take till the duckling will lift its head and start to move around??

He/she's tired from hatching out of the egg. Once he/she will get dry and fluffy and relaxed it will start quaking and running around.

If you are new into ducks take care of these few things:-

1) make sure their feed contains Brewer's Yeast.

2) unmedicated feed only

3) no bath for a week, if not hatched by a mama duck.

12-ish hour mark most of the time.

okay thank you so is it normal for it to just lay and twitch for a while should it be moving by morning?
