Two of my ducks have hatched :) When can I take them out?

[ZoeS95423]

Okay, So I have 2 babie ducks, one have been in the bator since 8 am, and one since about 12. They are knocking the eggs around like crazy... when should I take them out? Are they going to hurt the other eggs?

Are they dry and fluffy? Are the other eggs pipped?

 

[ZoeS95423]

I cant see if the other eggs have pipped, yes they are dry and fluffy one of them is very active, the other one was, and I think he is just resting right now?
One of the eggs is oozing that stuff out of it, that comes out with the baby chick, is that normal?
But they are running around knocking all the eggs around like crazy, and I dont want them to damage them.

Truthfully I wouldn't know about the egg oozing. I am noob and am on my first hatch.. But I have been reading the forums religiously. And I believe ifyou take a squirt bottle with 100 F water and spray as soon as you take the chicks out it theoretically will be fine. Just don't leave the bator open too long and let out too much humidity, spritz and nab lol..

As long as they are fully dry it should be ok to move them to a brooder

And dont feed them? Do I give them water to drink?
