Duckling hatching??

[hoppingchicks]

Oh wow. Will the neighbor take the hen back and you keep the babies?

One of my favorite things about raising fowl is watching the moms teach the babies.

I have a unique friendship with my neighbours it's quite funny actually.....
and yes I'm looking forward to seeing the mummy and babies together

What humidity are you incubating at and what is the relative humidity outside? The only issues you will have humidity wise is if there is a drastic difference between your incubator humidity and the relative humidity.

I'm guessing that they are close I've got about one-third of the two channels filled perhaps a little less and outside its
19°C
Precipitation: 1%
Humidity: 44%
Wind: 6 mph
(I'm not nerdy I got it off the internet )

That's okay I am nerdy so I didn't think anything of it until your comment at the end If they are close I wouldn't worry as long as your hen accepts them

Just checked this morning and mummy seems to be doing fine and one of the ducklings is unzipping the shell right now!!!! All seems to be doing fine at the moment I'll keep checking though

Good news everyone out of the six eggs four of them hatched and are now happily sitting under the very proud broody mum
one of them hatched in the incubator but made a smooth transition to under mum and is now with its brothers and sisters
the broody still has two eggs that are supposed to hatch tomorrow (these are chicks, not ducklings ) do you think having a mixed group of the chicks will get bullied??

That’s exciting
I just had a last buy 3 ducklings a few dats old from me
She had a broody mom with a few day old chicks. She put the ducklings under her and she accepted them. All babies ( ducklings and chicks seem to be doing great together
