INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Sally Sunshine]

Hi everyone! I knows it's been a while since I posted anything, but I need some help quick sticks please! If anyone has any knowledge about hatching ducklings, can you please tell me what to do about the one pictured above? Just hatched within the last few hours, it is now 9:26pm over here in the UK, should I leave this little one in the incubator overnight to fluff up, and will it's umbilical area seal up? Or should I put it in with its siblings and treat it with iodine? I'm not too sure what's happened, it is the last to hatch, four more hatched over the last 24 hours and seem perfectly healthy, but this one seems to have a problem with it's umbilical area. Any suggestions are grealty appreciated! Thank you.

not even sure I will keep the tolbunt, If I cant find good roo I wont keep all the hens. no use for them either

I typically give roos away, never worth the time and hassle to sell them, esp culls and if its not a cull why get rid of it unless your getting out of that breed

I take mine to the swap meet and sell them for 5-7 to the ladies who come for dinner birds.

Hi. I don't know ducks but if it was my chick I'd leave it in the incubator. Give it over night.

That must feel good.

I understand both of you know. Things get busy and life changes. I just haven't reached the part of saying I have enough. Hubby though says are you done yet?
