Hatching

[CrazyduckladyCNA]

I have a small incubator that I can fit 12 eggs in I’ve had eight ducks hatch. My latest one struggled to hatch because of a little to no room and is very tired and the other seven are just trampling him. I have one egg left that’s gonna hatch and I’m worried the same thing I was gonna happen to him. He has cracked fully around the bottom of the egg and has two holes. Should I just wait for him to continue and finish hatching or do I take all of my active babies out so he has room to hatch?

Take the dried babies out and put them in a brooder, just so there's a little room.

Will that shrink wrap my duck who isn’t done hatching yet?

As soon as I replied to this comment, he hatched he’s here so all my ducks have hacked house long. Should I wait for him to fluff up because it looks like he’s already half there which is crazy because he must’ve came out in the last 15 minutes

No, not unless you leave the lid off abd go make a sandwich. A few seconds to sweep peeps out won't hurt.
