How can I tell if a duckling is getting enough to eat? With my chicks, the crops are very easy to see when full but I can't seem to figure out the ducklings.

Hey guys
6 hatched
And 3 eggs still in the bator.
Should I leave them in?
It's day 23
Can't tell if they are duds aand tried the water test .
My first to hatch was our very first Snowy Call duckling...
Lost most of my chick hatch due to not pushing the humidity pan far enough back so it ran dry a full day early while we were gone...
But still got a bunch of chickies...
Lavender Ameraucana...
Black Ameraucana...
Cream Legbar pullet...
Cream Legbar cockerel...
Araucana...
8 Call ducklings
56 chicks
64 total hatched...
We got a whooping FOUR eggs today!!!except one was laid in the run next to the waterer so Gator can have that and one I dropped taking out of my pocket once I got inside
And yesterday we got 3.
I haven't seen an emu update yetOMG!! I had to skip 300+ post again. If I haven't already here are my final numbers.
Total hatched 93 chicken and 14 quail
Not sure if this counts in the total 1 chick and 1 quail died in the brooder after that hatch count.
Hope I did not miss a post about the emu. I guess I will have to sort through them all.
Does anyone have advice for splay leg? One of the chicks I had to assist appears to have itAnd all the other times I had chicks with it they died.
I don't know too much about how to treat it, but posted some links that might be helpful in this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ith-a-bad-foot-and-straddle-leg#post_16769512

Thanks Mike!Thank You Kelly!
Congrats!This is my first time hatching. I am incubating 9 Ancona Duck eggs. I have a still-air incubator, which I'm familiar with now, after practicing for a week. They just set today.
