The eggs should be hatching around the 13th of this month, so in about 10 days. I live in Ohio and it's March so it's still pretty cold, especially at night. My duck has her nest under their pen and she actually used a hole that was already in the ground to lay her eggs in. She has been sitting on them and she is pretty young so I understand it is very possible they won't hatch but I have caught my ducks "doing the do" and then she laid 6 eggs and has been sitting on them since then. I know if they hatch it will be too cold for them but I don't know what to do. I don't have an incubator and I can't just take her and her eggs and bring them inside and put them under a hear lamp...even though I would love to do that. It would make things so much easier. But I just don't know what to do. Some wild ducklings that were only a day old were brought to me by a family member because the mom was killed and they wouldn't eat and I tried everything to get them to eat i even tube fed them with a little dropper and it didn't work. Ive never been so crushed. I lost 6 baby Ducks and im scared that'll happen again. Would I take the hatchlings as soon as they come out of their eggs? Would I just let them hatch outside and then bring them in?Should I bring the mom in with them? Help please!!
