Keep the incubator closed that will keep the humidity up, if you open it up much it can cause them to shrink wrap. All the best that you get some healthy ducklings

info if you need it, but remember it's takes ducklings 24-36 hrs from internal pip to zip so don't get frantic and help them too soon if they need it, you will do more harm than good. and did you read the hatching guide?

Hi, i raise chickens, but i added 2 new girls to my little farm. I have 2 Emery Penciled Runner Ducklings. Cute as can be, but other than reading i dont have any knowledge about raising and caring for them Any suggestions? Do they need a house/coop?? Special foods??? What about space?

Those are cute runners I'm trying to convince my hubby we need more baby ducks/ girl ducks in general and I would love to have runners!

They are to cute! Can runners fly?

Nope, they only have short stubby wings but boy can they run...

Wow, they are great!
My Runner just eats the same as my chickens, Fine layer Mash.
As for a coop, she sleep on the floor of the chicken roost, in a corner that she doesn't get pooped on. She has clean water at all times and she can get to grit.
She also has a little bath tub as a pond and plenty of free range.
