Splash and Grace are doing amazing. We will have to have a Puddles Jr next time.

Sometimes people who are new to raising ducklings struggle to find the right food for them. Were you able to find duckling feed? Or all flock crumbles?

Hello and Welcome to BYC. Glad that you have joined this fun and poultry loving community. Sorry that you lost Puddles.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

They usually won't hatch until they are ready to hatch so Puddles had something else wrong presumably. You shouldn't have that happen again, but in case it ever does, don't touch it, and just leave it in the incubator for another day. It will finish absorbing it.

Glad the other two are doing well! Gorgeous picture of them!

Thankyou so much. I’ve bought a different incubator because I truly believe that the humidity drops were a big factor. I would check it before I went to bed but every morning I would get up at 4 am it would be on 18-21 and it freaked me out. So I’m honestly so blessed that 2 out of 6 ended up healthy. I’m hoping the new incubator will have a more consistent humidity. You really eased my mind. Thankyou so much.
