Help Duck in incubator

[Steph0402]

I have a duck that just hatched over 24 hours ago and I'm wondering when to take her out of the incubator and put her in there brooder but she's still laying on her side and isnt getting up and walking around yet should I put her in the brooder or keep her in the incubator until she stands up

I don’t know for sure but my aunt had one of my ducks in the incubator for over a day.

They take awhile to get there legs under them. Have you checked to make sure it's legs are ok? Has it tried to stand/walk at all? If it is dry you can move it to already warmed brooder as long as there is no other eggs hatching. If eggs are hatching you do not want to open incubator until they're finished. If floor of incubator is slick that may be why it isn't standing and can cause leg issues.

How is the Duckling?....Sounds like it's still absorbing it's yolk...You can put it in the Brooder in a Kleenex lined margarine container and give it time to find its legs...
