That was an exceptional hatch from the 6 eggs. But they came from a warm climate, and didn't have to be shipped far. I do hope the ones the other person "replaced" will hatch for you. But shipping this time of year in this yo-yo weather temps is tough. Especially from a cold climate to start with.
They will get more "attached" to you as they learn you are their feed source.

Ours got use to the interaction and keyed into the sound of our voices.....ours were 3wks old before they were introduced to water....we were too scared of dropping their body temps too much.....it was our first time to have ducks, but when they figured it out, they were Energize by it and knew when it was Tub Time....

I didnt leave them in too long. I made sure the water was warm but not hot. Once I got thier brooder cleaned I put them back under the heat lamp. So far they are fine. I wont do it again for a while.Ours got use to the interaction and keyed into the sound of our voices.....ours were 3wks old before they were introduced to water....we were too scared of dropping their body temps too much.....it was our first time to have ducks, but when they figured it out, they were Energize by it and knew when it was Tub Time....

We probably tend to be overly cautious about things we are unfamiliar with....well, I am anyway....just part of my nature of not wanting to "screw" something up and it being my ignorant self that caused the "issue"....after seeing them come up, I would do as ya did and just have it on my mind....I'll tell ya they will grow very quickly....and they will demand that water at least twice daily....it just Excites them and the antics begin....
