Newly hatched duckling

[Duckymommy04]

My first duckling hatched early this morning. Just want to know if behavior is normal. Wobbly, waddles, around, peeping, pecking at the cover of the incubator and then seems to "pass out " for very short naps. Looks dead when she takes these quick naps.

Hatching is hard work. Everything sounds normal. Good luck for more ducklings.

Sounds normal to me.

Thank you. Her nest mate is behind her by 3 days and the other by a week so I've given her a mirror to look at while she waits. I'll never stagger hatch again.
