Removing ducklings from incubator

[sowellj]

We have 3 duck eggs that are due on Wed. They are in a very small R-Com incubator. I don't think they would really be able to stand up in it esp if all 3 hatch. Can I take them out of the incubator before they dry? I would put them in a plastic storage bin with a heat lamp and a temp of about 99? I don't know how to post a picture of the incubator. It is a very small oval table top one.

I would say to let it get used to the air for atleast 15 minutes and then if it seems alright then remove it and make sure its under a heat lamp. Good Luck!

Thanks. What should I keep the temp at?

99.5. if your ducklings get to warm then they can move away after a while. Have fun!

without the proper humidity tey wont dry right, and you would hate them to chill, i would wait till they hatch and if they look like they are really uncomfortable in their then i would move them
