Hatching khaki cambell eggs

That's great!

4 out of the 5 hatched. The 5th one was gone I probably should have help it yesterday. When can I take them and the shells out of the incubator?

Adorable babies! If all have hatched, I usually wait until the last one is at least mostly dry before moving them out.

Ok we took them out about an hour ago they were very happy to have more room. Do you leave the shells in with them the whole time? I want to do another hatch I just wasn’t sure if I left the shells in or not after they finished hatching

I don't worry about taking the shells out until the ducklings are all out, and then I clean the incubator before doing another hatch. It's not a good idea to start a new hatch in a dirty incubator, it could cause the new eggs to be affected by bacteria.
