I have had a Runner duckling hatch about 2 hours ago. Unfortunately he is the only one that made it out of the 6 that I incubated. He is behaving as if he is hungry by nibbling at the towels I have in the incubator. I do not have any starter feed so would it be okay to give him some cooked oats, bananas and peas all mushed up together for now? Also, how long before I should move him to the brooder? He is in the incubator at the moment at around 95 degrees. His feathers are drying nicely. I have the brooder ready at about 85 degrees. Please let me know. Thank you!
