    Ducks usually take awile from their first pip so It could be tonight or tomorrow. You might want to add a wet sponge or paper towel to the incubator to boost up humidity. If they get stuck in the shells they could die. Good luck!

    ok, thaks but i don't have an incubator. I had to also bring all the other eggs inside (all 15) this afternoon *nd I'm going to post another thread about it here so I'll explain why then.

    the egg that was hatching last night: well he hatched but I'm scared because he won't walk or hold his head up.he's pretty much just limp. He hatched earlier this morning too, so I'm sure he should already be walking, drinking water...

    Sorry that I misunderstood. I would bring that baby in and put him in a brooder if you have one, under a heat lamp and leave him in there until he is dried off and walking around. When he is walking around you can give him back to the mom. They tend to get weaker when they are limp like that under the mom because they can't raise their head up or tuck under her feathers well to stay warm.

    Hey, the baby that was weak, that I named Archilles, died a few hours ago He was so precious, but he was just too weak--he couldn't hold his head up or walk at all. He wouldn't eat any either. Something bad was wrong with him, but I'm not really positive what it was.

    The babies are staying inside; I'm afraid the raccoon would get them if they were out with their mom.
