Hello my duckling that hatched a couple of hours aho is shivering with legs out. Its still.im the incubator but i dont know whats wrong?

It can take them a while to adjust to not being cramped. I'd not worry about it as long as the incubator is working properly.

Thankyou its fluffed up a good bit since hatching this morning but is also trying to pick up the fluid and gunk that came out if the egg that is at the bottom of the incubator in not sure if that means its looking for water? When should they first have water?

assuming the other eggs haven't hatched yet, I'd leave it in the incubator til everyone has hatched. They can go 2-3 days without food or water, as they are using up the yolk nutrients they absorbed before hatching.
