Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[clousert]

These ducks are SO SLOW. Day 26, two externally pipped, rest internally pipped and safe holed. WHY WON'T THEY COME OUT!!!

I've only ever had 1 come out on their own (Lily) so don't know lol

I know I don't think I've had any come out on their own. I'm trying so hard NOT to mess with them, even though I really REALLY want to.

Ok since my call hen is going to hatch out the ducklings will they need any help? Both parents have very short bills.

They shouldn't. Duck parents are the experts at hatching their own eggs usually. We try to mimic what they do but nobody knows better than they do.
