If you see any blood STOP

72 hours or till you hear sTress peeping.

Wait wait wait.

You might be better just having a handicapped duck. Ducks really don't do well with anesthesia. A number of them die.

This is excellent advice

If your ducklings have crests on the sides of their heads where their ear holes are they may be deaf. They can still live a good life, they just are loud.

I give tiny safety holes when they star to shadow. I wouldn't do it unless you can see their little bills pushing. Holes I make are very tiny. If you can afford it, I highly recommend Brinsea they are pricy but I get much higher hatch rates. I call them set and forget it. My nurture right...

Give the a tiny safety hole. I use the egg punch from my egg steamer. You need somebody that knows calls I have hatched domestic ducks. Maybe not quite A 100. But never a call. Wait wait wait and wait some more on the domestics. I'm close to Houston and we've had a lot of electrical...
