Hey.... I'm Magen & could use some input

[Paulsgirl12115]

I have 12 chickens, 5 ducks and 30 eggs in the incubator ( 3 hatched in the last couple hours) any advice anyone can give me.? Also I could seriously use some ideas on how to build their coop

You could get blue prints or buy a coop

Firstly Glad you joined!
Sounds like your flock isn’t too small... this is some larger coop designs that I would dream of owning!!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/large-coops.20/ Other posters have good links to check out too!!!

Decided to build bc already have 12 chicken and 5 ducks then whatever hatch out of 30 I just figured it would be more beneficial Cost wise

Welcome to BYC!
You may need more than one coop. You'll need to seperate males from females.
Congratulations on your new flock!

After the chick Completely hatches do I just need to leave it in the incubator until it dries or longer
