So I texted my husband, DON"T OPEN THE BATOR, but let me know when number 2 comes out. HE TEXTED BACK, OMG, OMG, NOW YOU HAVE THREE DUCKS. TWO OF THEM CAME OUT. HA HA HAHAHAHAHA

Hurray! Sounds like you're going to have a lot of cute duckling pics to share in a couple days.

OK well they are NOT taken 24 hours anymore, We are on our 4th one, who is in the process of cracking right now. WOW.. 7 more to go.. I wish I was home to see this. Dang those ducks. They did this on purpose I'm sure so I couldn't bother them while they do there thing.. HA HA HA,, Looks like I dont have to wait 9 days to get pictures.. HA HA HA

This first one is still not walking, his on his back and getting around but not up and walking, I think he's going to be a problem, what can be done???

You do nothing until the entire hatch is done. Once all have hatched that are going to, then you move them to the brooder access any issues there might be.

When you take them out of the bator and start water have some Poultry Nutri Drench ready and put it into their water. It's awesome stuff wouldn't be without it.

Celtic how long do you wait to be sure hatch is done? what if it's days and the first ones need to eat and drink, I've never hatched in a bator so curious as to how it works

They can go almost 72 hours post hatch before they need anything. The absorbed yolk is all they need. We as people think we need to offer food sooner.

I wait 6-8 after the last bird hatches normally

OH MY GOD we are up to FIVE.. Let's see if I can get a picture.. IT WORKED, SEE THE ONE ON HIS BACK, HE'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR MORE THEN 24 HOURS, HE WAS THE FIRST ONE BORN....
