Getting anxious and nervous lol

[JenHarmon]

My duck eggs are due to hatch on Saturday. We are now in lock down. Still have the concern that one may be twins. The eggs this afternoon (some of them) are moving quite a bit. This is our first time incubating any eggs. I am just about all ready for hatching I think. This is exciting and stressful at the same time! I have never even seen eggs hatch in person before....just on YouTube. We only have 8 eggs out of the dozen that we incubated make it to this point. I feel like I won't be sleeping well until they are all out lol....how soon after they hatch do I take them out of the incubator to put them in the brooder? Some of them belong to my friend and she wants them as soon as possible.

I leave mine in the incubator until they're dried off congrats! Good luck!

And don't get impatient when they start to hatch ducklings take a long time from internal pip to external zip sometimes as long as 3 days so don't feel you have to intervene too soon.

Keep us updated!

3 of my eggs have recently pipped externally!! All 8 have been rocking and moving. I'm so excited! Hatch day is tomorrow so I guess so far they are right on time.

The incubator got bumped a little and 2 of the eggs rolled over on their sides....should I just leave em like that for now?
