Ducks just hatched

[Maddy0712]

So I’m very excited my first batch just had two hatch and the last two are on their way! When do I remove from the incubator? And when do I place the food and water in the brooder?

I never hatched any but I think this might help https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/the-beginners-guide-to-incubation.73350/

Nice! You can take them to the brooder as soon as they get dry. I put the feed and water in the brooder first, they should not be hungry but might need time to figure out the food.

Also picture please, I would like to see your birdies

I ended up taking them out to make room for the last two to hatch!
