Do the babies really do ok on wire? I have so many right now, and can't keep up with the shavings in their brooder. If they do ok, I may switch them but wanted to ask, first.

Yes they do. Just make sure that the wire has very small holes so they cant get their feet stuck. I think this wire is 1/4".​

I hear ducks peeping but no pips yet, these arent due til the 29th (17 mixed eggs and 14 Indian Runner eggs).
I am nervous as heck,going to read this entire thread to see if I am missing anything.
I tried to hatch out ducks last year and didnt succeed so I guess I am learning a little something.

I have 4/6 mandarins pipped so far.
