How long to wait? When to step in… if needed

Go get some rest.

We want pictures in the morning

This is pretty cool. I too am "hatching" tonight. My first 2 of 6 eggs pipped and one of them is completely out. I havent seen any movement from the other one yet other than that pip hole.

This morning both chicks that hatched are quite feisty! They both have feathered feet I think!!! They were shipped from @Pierre duck drake so they came a very long way! I’m unsure what breed cross they might be yet but I know the roosters are Sussex and silkie. They are so precious! They still seem to be wet and not all the way fluffed out yet, how long does it take?

they dry pretty fast, but sometimes they dont fluff up as quickly. If they feel dry to the touch, you can probably bring them out now to let them finish fluffing up in the warmth of the brooder. If they still feel damp, I'd leave them in the incubator a little longer.

Here they are!

Awww!
I'm glad they both are up and moving about! Cute babies

So I don’t even know what I was thinking, but I just realized I don’t have shavings. I have soft wood pellets though. Will these work? Or should I rush to the feed store?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

I've never used pellets, so can't say how well those work.

Do you have puppy pads?

Yes I do. I can use those?
