baby duckling in brooder not standing eating... two days old

[sclampy]

My first duckling hatched yesterday morning. It is moving around, drinking and peeping, but I have yet to see it eating. Is that normal or should I be concerned?

Some time today I would think it would start eating. They use up the yolk they have absorbed for the first 24 hours, I believe.

I think Amiga is right.
