Sounds like it.. if they’re domestic and no mother is watching over them, I don’t see why you shouldn’t take them to a rehabilitator. I mean, really ALL of the domestic ducks should be captured and rehomed. Also, if the new ducks are about the same size as the Pekins and look just like...

You could likely leave it to him. I only ever pulled it when it was time to hatch and dried out.

Looks like the veins have reduced, no? Still not quite ready, though. You will know when he’s ready, I promise.. When it comes time for him to hatch, I’m guessing you’ll have to finish the hatch for him. If so, don’t rush it!! Zipping is meant to be slow, and it’s healthy for baby to spend...

Oh, yeah, that 15 hour one I posted was doing the head pushing, too. Not quite sure what it is, maybe a stretch? But it wasn’t a problem for him. I love that big yawn!!! :love

Here’s some photos of two I assisted. At the time of this, baby still had some minor veins, still chewing, the works.. she hatched 2.5 hours later. This guy I assisted quite early, as he was behind the rest. Still huge veining, still chewing, of course. He hatched 15 hours later. I suspect...

I understand being nervous.. But this really seems okay to me. Baby is going to put in a whole lot of effort into hatching and needs to rest and to absorb all the way. My average time from pip to hatch was 42 hours, but I had ducklings take as long as 55 hours and be just fine 🤷‍♀️

@Miss Lydia I was just typing up a message 😂 Yes, I’m wishing your duckies luck! Let us know if you have any questions or need any help!

I’d leave him for now. Still looks / sounds good!

I agree with this! If you do, I’d chip off a bit closer to where baby’s bill is. Don’t forget to moisten the membrane. Usually babies pip again to get more air, but I’m guessing baby has enough air as is and is just hanging out until they’re done absorbing 😂

It seems to be at least fairly accurate.. I have noticed minor inconsistencies for sure, though Thank you so much!! You’re too kind ❤️ You have me very interested looking through old photos, and wow, how could I forget.. I had other ducks with the white wing tips! All the white wing-tipped...

Interestingly, it’s actually the other way around! The drakes would be black, and the hens would be chocolate!

That baby is still chewing and not ready to hatch, but I agree, 36 hours is quite awhile for no more progress. If you’d like to do a small partial assist just so baby can have more air, you may.. Realistically, this baby should hatch later tonight.

Bragg Nutritional Yeast (yes, with the cheesy flavor!) is a great one! :)

Not sure why I’ve never posted here. Hello! I’m Kathi, and I own an African Grey :) Her name’s Ruby, and she’s about 11 years old. Some of her favorite activities include, 1. Attacking sticks / tin foil 2. Shredding cardboard 3. Exploring on and under furniture 4. Hanging upside down, and most...

That’s alright. I expect you’ll see some pipping tomorrow :)

Maybe crunch some of it up to be smaller like the crumble?

Yep, I agree, Khaki Campbells, and gorgeous ones! ❤️ I’d say they’re a couple days old, a week at most.

:pop:pop

At the moment, intervention isn’t needed. I’m quite liking where baby is at right now. If his behavior changes, but there’s still no progress, let us know / post a new video of it.

Yep, about to say the same thing. That pecking is actually chewing, and is a sign baby isn’t ready to hatch just yet :)
