Help first duckling is pipping

[TX Urban Farm Girl]

I need advice. Mamma duck laid eggs and only one has survived. I saw this afternoon it's pipping. Will mamma take care of the duckling or will I need to bring it in and set up a brooder for it?

Mama should take great care of it. Just keep and eye on her.

Ducks - just like chickens - have been hatching and raising babies for centuries before we humans decided we needed to "help". I don't have ducks, but my chickens are far better at raising their babies than I am.
