Help! first time hatching!

[silkiecuddles]

I took them to the garden with me while I watered some plants. They loved it! Then they sat in a bucket in the sunshine while I cleaned out the brooder and incubator. The last three eggs were dead.

I had to separate the chicks and ducks because of the water mess. All the chicks are soaked

I don't doubt that one bit! I hatched ducks first, then chicks, so the chicks now feel like a breeze! Lol

Awwww thank you. That means alot to me. Really! I just try to be supportive.

So when are you setting more eggs? Lol

Haha, I don't know. I cleaned the bator yesterday and packed it up. But if we can sell some ducklings maybe I'll set some more
