I personally, would leave him alone in the shell w/o company. You don't want busy babies rolling him about and wasting his energy for hatching. Up to you, though.
He is here and he is beautiful!!!!! How exciting! Eight out of nine made it......I was NOT expecting that! I am so excited.
Thanks so much, Iain Utah........not only for finding the auction for me, but for helping me through this ENTIRE ordeal.......start to finish. I sooooo appreciate it.
As soon as I take him out of the bator, you will get some. I want to go get another heat lamp and put him and the three new ducklings that hatched along with him last night in their own brooder until they are dry and stronger.....so, I am getting ready to head the store to get another lamp.....can NOT believe I forgot to do that when I was at the feed store yesterday!
He is a cutie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to show him off to you.
