Call Ducks Finally Hatched

Thank you!!!!! I have hatched out ducks for friends but never kept them after hatch...they always wanted them as brooder babies. But this time...they want them all feathered out, so of course I said....SURE I can take care of the until then:D Learning as I go! So, is this something you add to their feed forever? Or until a certain age? Want the best for these babies! Silly babies snuggled up in the empty food bowl:lau
Until 10-12 weeks of age... Adorable... :)
 
I wasn't sure where to post this, but do call ducks make good pets? Can they be kept in a 10ftx10ft or a 10ftx20ft pen? Trying to decide on a perfect breed

Hello,
I am on day 23 of call ducks (my first hatch ever) and I am nervous that my air cells are too small. I am scared to enter lockdown because I read that high humidity makes a small aircell.
Will the aircell grow bigger in lockdown despite high humidity?

Looks a little small (first pic doesn't look too bad), but it's kinda late to be able to compensate now. Probably best to wait for an internal pip to increase the humidity, but they should still do ok.

Adorable! I can't wait- been sitting on my hands for a few days now, still no sign of a pip.

Hoping to meet my babies soon!
 
Hows the hatching going???

I think it's going ok, hard to tell as there are still no external pips. I think this one internally pipped but I feel like the yolk sac may have ruptured? I can see yellow inside when I gently candle it. What do you guys think?
(both videos are of same egg, taken this morning).
