Greetings from Kansas, kelkat1920, and ! Pleased you joined our community! I don't have a clue about incubating and hatching but you might check in the following link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks Best wishes and thanks for joining BYC!
Sounds like mama knows what she is doing. I would take your lead from her. After the eggs hatch she will probably begin schooling them in what is okay to eat & drink, and teaching them how to be ducks. Hope you can get pictures.
G’Day from down under kelkat1970 Welcome! Oooh, that is exciting! I agree to leave mumma to her own devices; she should know what she is doing and you can sit back and overdose on the cuteness! I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
Runners are such cute ducks, I hope you'll share a picture or two of the ducklings once they're out and about!
