I have never done it but I know they are shipped during the 1st 24 hrs of being hatched because thats about how long they can go until they need food and water. I don't know what type of container or shipping cost but I also am curious to know as I raise ducks as well.

So I have a 24 hour window to get them there? Wow cause it takes them a while to dry off in the incubator I just learned 12-24 hours.
Do I still let them dry off in the incubator?.
This might be harder then I thought.
Im wondering if I should put additional ducklings in the box just incase some dont make it......

I would ship them right out of the egg. You have to ship them with a time stamp and follow rules for shipping day old poultry.

Forgive me but it sounds like you are new to the incubation process and you are incubating 100 eggs?
