Help! first time hatching!

[silkiecuddles]

I was going to put them all together but if it gets too hectic then I'll put another box in the bathroom and they can share a light

I hatched a turkey with my ducks and the ducks seemed pretty mean to it. But I only had the one turkey with 4 ducks. So you might be ok with multiple chicks and ducks. But best to be prepared in case they don't get along. I ended up buying 2 chicks to put with my turkey. They still live together and are best buddies.

Ok. Last year I bought 16 chicks and then a week later we bought 12 ducks. It's was wild and wet so the ducks got their own box. But when we moved them to outside they shared a coop for a while

After getting up at 6 to check on them I fell asleep for a little over an hour. The humidity had dropped to 50% and the other silkie egg is (un)zipping. I hope it's ok

Can you see it? It's tight. I know they must do it somehow in the wild, so I'm trying not to be too concerned with it.

I think she's fine, She should be all fluffed up by now.. Probably could move her.

3 chicks out total and 3 ducks out total!!! The ducks were really fast! I removed the she'll after I was sure they had been out completely. There's a little more room now but the chicks are REALLY active!

GOOD LORD AND THE DOMINOS FALL WOOO HOOOOOOO

Just try to get it back up, that's all you can do. should be OK, if it struggles, then give the egg a spraying..

OH how exciting WOOO HOO!!! Have you been informed yet?

Oh boy, I should probably break the news to you, Lets see, Hum, OK here it goes.

Ducks are Messy. LOL....

Also, I would like to suggest, no swimming lessons for at least one week, they have to produce there own oils since they don't have a mama duck to put the oils on them, they need time to create there own. They can get there feet wet but that's about all that I would allow them to do.
