Hatching Runner Ducks Live Updates!!

[edoucet]

Does anyone have any tips on raising Indian runners especially? Do they have particularities? Actually I’d love to hear any duckling tips in generally!
I’m a new momma and I don’t want to hurt them within the first few days by not providing a need or something. Any advice is gladly received!

Is it normal for the ducklings to pip at different times? Like days apart?

Still waiting on that first external pip! I’ve had two more babies pip internally as far as I can tell.
