Duck Eggs in Lockdown - Peeping but no pips?

[Abraeri]

Well my dad is out and I asked him to buy food but I don't know if he will be able to get any because he is out for a different errand.

If they are that active in the incubator it's time to move them to the brooder, but you have to have food in the brooder before you move them.

Oh ok. So it's fine to open the incubator even though there are pips?

I always do.

Opening the lid is not going to suck the moisture out of the eggs and cause them to shrinkwrap.

4th one out!

Is it okay if I give them ground up layer feed from my ducks? Just for a day?

I've been following along, and I'm so stoked for you! I've only had success hatching under a broody but one day I'll get to watch! I'm loving your videos!

I know the protein content is not right but will it make a difference just for a day?

I'm not sure if it will make a difference or no, but it's not the protein I worry about, it's the extra calcium.
