Out of 13 eggs, 12 survived so farWow Im really surprised they survived, another example of baby birds being tougher than we expect.
I think your duck hen is no longer broody, so you will likely need to raise the ducklings in a brooder.
The 3 eggs that were not developed were likely laid by her after her broody hormones disappeared
So all did not make it but three. One hatched on the weekend and two just hatched together this afternoon. I literally went out for two hours and came back to them out of their shells yelling at each other!! Should i put them under the brooder? Or leave them until tomorrow?Have they hatched or have they started yet?
Only two made it!Pulling for those littles
You can leave them until tomorrow. Personally, I leave mine for 12 - 24 hours, or until they dry off and get their footing.Should i put them under the brooder? Or leave them until tomorrow?
