Help power went out and duckling are 3 days old

[rtflanagan]

Power just went out. I have 4 ducklings and 1 chick all 4 days old and 1 in the incubator, pipped but nothing else what can I do ?

I don't want to lose them now. How do I keep them warm ?

How warm is it in your house wrap the bator in blankets all but top till power comes back on this may help hold the heat in.

As long as duckling can snuggle and aren't in a drafty room they will probably be fine you could even put an old towel in the brooder made to look like a nest for them to snuggle in. or sit and hold them up to your skin with hand cupped over top to hold in heat. Some ladies actually put them in their shirts.
