Anything I need to do?

[Juliesan]

Hi All! I've hatched a number of ducklings in the incubator before, so I know how to care for them. This time I have ducks hatching ducklings. I expect they will hatch in a few days. How can I assist mama ducks? Do I need to put out chick starter for the ducklings? Should I separate the ducklings and mom from the rest of the flock, and if so how long? Thank you for your advise!

The mom knows what to do. Chick starter will be good for them.

Yes, separate for a week so the Momma and Duckling bond tightly...Put out feed and water for the Babies....

Thank you. I just assume moms know what to do and I don't want to get in the way! Hoping there will be some hatchlings tomorrow!
