Hello all,
We let our 2 Khaki Campbells incubate their eggs. 15 hatched last weekend 5/31, but 2 of the eggs must have been rolled in from our other ducks late, since they didn’t hatch. I put them in a homemade incubator since the mothers abandoned the nest. They just hatched yesterday and today.
My question is, how should I go about giving the two ducklings back to the mothers. Should I wait a few days for the ducklings to regain some strength? I’m mostly worried that they are a week behind the other 15 and smaller, and maybe the mothers won’t look out for them. We live in Southern Michigan, so day time temps are in the 70s and lows are in the 50s.
Thank you for any help!
