What an active bugger. It is knocking the eggs all over the place. When can the ducklings be moved to the brooder?

Well, if you wanted to do some busy work...it would take what ten minutes to take pics, download them from the camera, and upload them to this thread...right??

We'd love pics of the new hatchling!

Yay yay yay! That's fantastic! What a cutie!

I usually leave them in the incubator only until they are completely dried out and/or coordinated, but I make a point of opening the incubator only twice a day. So in the evening, I remove any ducklings that are dried out, and then again the next morning, etc. I find that leaving them in the incubator for long periods often leads to more trouble than its worth, especially when the eggs are lying on their sides. They just mess with the other eggs too much, and also with the fan & heating element & so on.

Congrats!

I love ducklings!!!! I had such a poor hatch, and my fairy godmother struck me in bank account so I ordered some from Ideal. I should have them by Friday!!!
