I have a hatch in progress, my first time, and the first duckling is out.
The issue is the incubator lid is lower than they are tall. My duckling can’t full stand upright though it’s trying to very hard. I’m concerned about damage to the legs of it can’t stand fully in the next 24 hours.
I’m also concerned about opening the incubator to retrieve it. This duckling is two days early. One other egg has only just started to pip.
What should I do folks? Do I quickly take the duckling out and put it under a brooder light to dry off? Give the pipped eggs a mist while I’m at it to be safe?
