One baby!

Hey all, me the newbie again

I have just had my first duck hatch out! Yay! I have 3 more left in the incubator to hatch. I think I know the answer but just to confirm, when can I take the first one out of the incubator? She is very nearly dry and im worried about her climbing over the eggs and getting stuck. The incubator is pretty small (brinsea mini 2 eco). She looks like she is trying to stand but the roof is too low. I know im probably worrying over nothing but please help thanks

Take the duckling out, and put some warm water in your incubator to make up for humidity loss.

Thank you so much for the reply! Should I wait until she has completely dried?

Hi Aidan, how it going? have you had any more hatch?

Hi Aidan, how it going? have you had any more hatch?

Hi! I’ve had 2 now, just waiting on 2 more! I thought it would have been over a lot quicker than this. They really are taking their time haha

Hi Aidan, yes mine took alot longer than any of the other hatches I've done, however, all 6 hatched safely with one assist (duckling piped wrong end and wouldn't/couldn't come out).
This is the third one to hatch........

Aidan, Dees, congrats on the hatches, feels good when they make it to the end, now they can start living...

Thanks Ted, I can start living too - been a complete wreck for the last 3 days!

Its taken over my life the last 3 days haha! I now have all four hatched, I did assist with the last one. I think they were too tired and the membrane was getting drier and drier. All very happy now though
