It's pretty simple...Put them under her and wait....If she leaves the nest before the others hatch then hatch in the house..Mommas are great..She might wait?..

The beak is now poking out,Pebbles has made her nest in wood shavings will that harm the Ducklings? This is my 1st time also with the eggs under mamma Duck

No, Momma teaches them..She won't encourage them to eat shavings...

After hatching Put feed and water close to the nest...Momma will show them the rest..

@LesleyH63 , I try to make no drastic changes to anything in the last few days, so I don't think I would move the eggs from the incubator to her because sometimes we can upset the duck and she could accidentally squish the eggs.

Her nest should be fine.

Thank you, I was worried they could suffocate ...silly me ,I think I’m more nervous than Pebbles lol...

Hello...Some people have more experience...Just go with your gut..Mommas do better accepting Ducklings she hatched herself..

I'd leave things as is for now too. Sounds like she is doing fine for her first time. Just keep an eye on her and the ducklings. It's nice that you have either option going now. Once she hatches one, I feel sure you will know how she will do with the rest.
Best of luck!

Just put the other eggs under her & she was fine,I’ve raised Pebbles from 1day old so she sees me as her mummy lol.....,she does have a small ramp going into her house will the babies be ok or should I move them to the other little house which is on the floor?
