Thank you. I did some research and found the same info. You're the best

How are the ducklings doing? still hobbled?

They are doing really well. They are still hobbled only because I didn't want to stop too soon. But they are walking and running really well with the hobbles on. I was planning on taking the hobbles off tonight and seeing how they do with out them

When did you say the rest are due? I hope the 2 littles do real good once you take off the hobbles.

We have another one that just pipped it's shell last night, so hopefully sometime today it'll hatch. And then another 6 more in the next week.

Try not to intervene it does take quite a while from pip to zip. So excited for you hatching they are so precious. Be careful too adding this newly hatched in with your other 2 they may pick on it you might want to keep in in the brooder but somehow separated for a few days till it gets it's legs under it good. Of course you probably already know all of this.

just can't help myself lol

Little stinker still hasn't hatched itself, it's working on it though. Has a couple spots on the shell pipped now. We are trying to figure out away to put it in the brooder when hatched but keep it separate from the others. Might just put it in a shoe box or something. Speakinbof the other two, we took the hobbles off tonight and they are doing great. Little guys are fast lol.

Yay for lil stinkers..

Clear shoe box would work that way they could see each other but no touching. They take so long to hatch I think they just like to see us sweat.

How it doing now?

Still waiting for it to hatch. I can see a third little pup so I'm sure it's gonna zip pretty soon.

Still waiting! Being patient but dang it. 3 places where it's pipped the shell, still wiggling around in there.
