Today I realized that I wanted to go away for the New year. From the 31st-the 3rd. That means if anything happens to the ducklings, I won't be able to do anything.
I PMed a woman on Facebook that has my turkeys and chickens. She'll come over if I call. There is a woman on here that said she would help, but is too new. I told her she had to learn sometime! Besides, any help is better than no help. Her husband had Pekins as a kid, and wants some in the spring (sounds like permission to hatch a lot to me!!). I PMed her, and asked if she's close enough to help. I'll hide a key and maybe a small gift. I plan on having a camera on the incubator. If I see a problem, I'll see who is available to get over here. I'm not asking the neighbor, but she will be called as a last option.
Otherwise, they should hatch on the first, and be fine until I get back. I'll use sponges for humidity, but leave a bowl of water with marbles in there before I go in case they need it.
