You could give your duckling some hard boiled or scrambled egg for extra calories. That really helped my tiny duckling

More cute duckling pictures. I’m somewhat exhausted by these guys😂

Yay!!! Looks great

I think this might be their last night in the kiddie pool. They spent the day outside but I still think it’s too cold outside even with the heat plate. Tomorrow I’ll set up the dog crate inside and put half in there, half in the kiddie pool

I see your ducklings like sticking their faces in the camera too😂

I would say, give it a safety hole and then wait around 48 hours to assist further. Maybe these people can help @New duck mommy 2021 @KathiQuacks

Had the one you made the hole for internally pipped? As long as it’s internally pipped, no reason not to do a safety hole. Are you able to keep the temperature around 99.5? Any chance you can borrow an incubator for this egg? I’ll share an article I found helpful.

If you hear clicking, it has probably internally pipped. Safety holes are pretty safe and shouldn’t cause any issues as long as you make them just pin hole sized

I will miss the 14.. but they are so messy and so much work life will be a bit easier 😂

Very cute! It’s not a bully, just a normal bratty little duckling exploring the world. It’s not necessary to leave them in 24 hours

I’ve never hatched shipped eggs but I would guess that is the problem. My duck eggs, I usually have a couple that need a bit of help in a batch of 20ish. So I don’t think ducks are bad in general

Oooh, she does look very similar! I would be excited if she is a lavender because I don’t have that color yet

I’m so sorry! If you decide to try to hatch more eggs, maybe we can help.

@Miss Lydia Do you have any ideas or know anyone who might?

At this point, keep the membrane moist and watch for the veins to recede. I’m really sorry about the one that died. I hope someone with Call duck experience can give you advice

If you can’t find the malpositioned one’s beak I’m not sure what else you can do. Hopefully someone experienced with that can give you some ideas

Sounds like you’re doing good. Just watch those veins and wait🤞 Does the malpositioned one also have a lot of veins? Did the zipping duckling hatch?

Oops, I see that you said you were going to try to open up the malpositioned one to try to find it’s beak. I missed that. I think that’s a good idea. Just stay in the aircell and go slow you should be ok

I’m so sorry about the one that covered it’s hole. That can happen to ducklings that externally pip too😢 Try not to feel too bad. Can you post pictures of the eggs that you opened? Did you moisten their membranes? Can you see the bill at all on the malpositioned one?
