Hello,
I went to the co-op yesterday to get some food and a heat pad for my upcoming ducklings that are on day 24 in the incubator, and they had just gotten in baby ducklings. Im a sucker for the ducklings and have never incubated before and am worried I will only get one of the three to hatch or worse zero. The eggs were not prepped to incubate, and honestly I wasnt planning to get any ducklings this spring, but I lost all four of my feathered babies in a fire. I had about a dozen eggs and last minute decided to incubate the eggs, which I have never incubated anything. My question is, I have 4 2 day old ducklings now, 2 blue swedish, and two buff ducklings and three in the incubator at day 24. How far apart in age is it safe to put ducklings together? I know I shouldnt have jumped the gun and am prepared to have two nurseries set up, but would like to be able to put them together at some point.
Heres a pic of the two day olds:
