Problems Hatching Call Ducks

[Jkduckster]

2 beautiful blue Bibbed call babies have hatched out of 4. The other two are alive and have pipped. Im so happy! When should I remove them from the incubator?

Umbilicus closed on both?

I’d think they should be fluffed but let’s see if others who hatch in bators are here since I use my ducks to do the hatching. @WVduckchick @Dougdilman @DuckyDonna

Give them time till they are up and actually peeping. Then I move them to the Brooder. Don't need to be totally dry.

I'm worried that of I open the incubator the humidity will drop for the other two still hatchling. Also is it unusual for no imbelican cord. They don't have much of a egg yolk sack eather.

Oh that won't be an issue opening and removing the Ducklings.
Having no egg sack is what your wanting.

Beautiful babies!
I usually remove them after they are up and moving around also. But if they aren’t bothering other eggs, there’s no rush to get them out.

me too, as soon as they rest a bit and start squirming around the incubator I get them out. They are usually a wet mess but dry off quickly and fluff up after getting in the brooder. Besides, I want to look at them better!

I put the two little ones in the brooder and dipped their beaks in the food and water. They haven't eaten at all yet.. when should I expect to see them eat? Is it normal?
