Injured baby is still not eating so I tube fed him more electrolyte mixed with a tiny bit of duck pellets. His eyes look a little better and I washed all his wounds again. I wonder if his bill is just too painful to eat. Here’s another picture of Dragon, the duckling who was killed, back when...

Haha, Zuko is my favorite character from that show!

The injured baby is walking around and talking more. Looks more alert. I need to give him a strong name

Dragon as a baby. He is the one in front with the yellow marking on top of his head

The one who was killed is the tall black one in the right corner. His name was Dragon. When he hatched he had a crescent shaped yellow mark on his head and it turned into a white mark when he got his feathers. He was an elegant and regal looking duck even as a baby. I named him Dragon because...

I’m happy to update that Speck’s bill is almost completely healed!

Thank you everyone for the replies. It does seem like changing incubation methods was a stupid idea:( I did candle them before setting and there were no cracks. All beautiful healthy looking eggs. I did raise the humidity. It might be too late but maybe it will help the survivors. I have it at...
