Hello all
I have call ducks and looking to hatch some to keep the flock full. Been reading a lot of posts for advice and look forward to sharing and learning!

I have a variety of colors, not hatching for specific colors, just general hatching.

I took 4 eggs from broody hen that was inconsistently sitting and put them in incubator with some other eggs I gathered to incubate (had no date on when these were laid). upon candling I recently noticed movement and realized they were further along (I am a total novice at this). I had been turning them with my other eggs until I noticed more movement and peeping. so I moved all other eggs to my other incubator so I could lock these 4 down. 1 hatched yesterday afternoon but nothing from the other 3 eggs yet. how long should I give them to pip and should I move the 1 duckling to the brooder?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. After 24 hours I would move the one duckling to a brooder assuring to maintain humidity in the incubator.

I love my calls, they are fun, pretty easy for me so far (i'm new to owning ducks)
