Duckling Hatching at School?

[stacyw0915]

Hello! I am so thankful for all of the help and information I've found just by reading different threads already!

I am a teacher and we are currently incubating 7 duck eggs for the first time. We are currently on day 22 and I'm thinking our eggs may begin to hatch this weekend, which makes me very nervous to have them at school when no one is there. Is it okay (or even possible) to safely and carefully move the eggs and the incubator before lockdown to my house, less than 10 minutes from school, to make sure someone is with them when they hatch?

Thank you for any help/advice!

Is it possible that you go to school?

I can, that was my plan. I was just worried if they ended up hatching overnight and no one is there until morning?

they will be fine, they can last 48 hours in an incubator with out food or water. I would not recommend moving them. It is best it you were there, but I would not risk it
