First time hatching

[Windle]

Hi all,
I’m new to this and looking for advice.
we had a duck nesting under our hedge and a fox got mummy & daddy duck so I brought the eggs in to the house and knock up a homemade incubator.... my question is they have both hatched but still have an undissolved yolk sac, I’ve kept them in the incubator but slightly away from the heat source and on a damp towel. Will they survive???

Good job for completing the incubation, can you set the ducklings gently in mugs so they won't break the yolk sacs?

Will do and there chirping away, I’ve also syringe fed them some water. Just hope they survive the night and next coming days

Hello there! I’m debating on taking some of my mamma ducks eggs as I think she’s a little confused . 2 of maths eggs appeared to have tried to hatch but I’m not sure if she didn’t get off of them? I can see one of the other eggs is pipping. But I was curious on how you created your incubator?

Explain what's going on.
Are you saying that your ducks are sitting on eggs to incubate them? If so then just let them do their thing.

Yes my mamma duck is sitting on them. Some I removed today are no good as she starting sitting on them late. When I went in there today though 2 tried to hatch. One didn’t even seem to have the membrane in anymore. The other I don’t know what happened. I can upload pics. But my mamma duck survived a nasty coyote attack last year and had been a little off ever since. So I was mainly wondering if I should at least try to save one of the eggs that is pipping so at least one may make it?

Nothing too radical tbh. A simple cardboard box with some straw or wood shavings and a 60 watt glow buld for the heat. Just made sure to turn the eggs twice a day.
