What a cutie! He wants his sibling to join him!

Yep it should be fine to take it out if you haven't already.

I went ahead and put him in the brooder. He is very healthy and active with a great peck reflex. I think I will offer food and water in a bit. He is dry and fluffy now!

Thanks! I’m so happy! The other one will hopefully be ready later to join him!

How many have hatched?

Duckies!

Hopefully his brother hatches soon! He is peeping very loud! I gave him a stuffed animal for now. He is running laps around the brooder and trying to jump out! He’s very active!

How many have hatched?

Just this one so far but I’m thinking the other will be ready soon.

I’ve gotta check the other one’s progress as of now. As of about 2:30 or 3:00pm he still had active veins that were bleeding. It’s been 27 hours since I initially made the safety hole.

The other on day 28 today still has some prominent veins. I’m going to leave him till morning. I candled him and can see quite a few near the bottom as well. He’s looking healthy right now. He’s still chewing and yawning as well so he’s got some absorbing to do.
