Staggered duck hatch

[Rethia]

Hi! I got a dozen duck eggs from somebody nearby and her ducks had collected all their eggs into a massive clutch of eggs so they are all different lengths along. I think two other eggs might hatch in the next 24-36hrs, but the first duckling has already hatched. Will s/he be ok in the brooder by herself? She's drying off and poofing kind of quickly and is only 3hrs old. None of the other eggs have exterior pips, though one looks like it's pipped internally.

She will be fine.
You can put a stuffed animal in there for her.

It is also fine to leave her in the incubator.

I moved her out with a little stuffie my daughter volunteered and ducky is quiet and seems pretty content under the brooder plate.

Wishing you a great hatch!
