Duck not making sound

[danniedgar]

Hey guys need a little advice my ducking hatch yesterday and now drying out but he/she is not making any sound moving and wriggling around just not making any noise? What could this be?

How many hours ago did they hatch? Is he still in the incubator? Was the hatch assisted?
If this was yestersay, he's like dry by now. I'd check on him and bring him out if so.

They do tend to run about in short bursts, and then just collapse and sleep a while, hatching is hard work. He should wake up once you take him out.

This is not unusual behavior for newly hatched birds.

is he lying on his back, with his feet in the air, or on his tummy sleeping?
Could you take a photo of his tummy area, just to ensure it is closed up and that he isnt premature or anything.

That looks okay, the naval is seemingly still closing, not a problem there, thats normal.
