We were thinking that as well!

We have some adorable ducklings who just hatched yesterday (and more in process today) but we are not sure what our 1 little duckling named Quasar is - any thoughts? Quasar seems almost silver in color. We (thought we) received Rouen and Aylesbury eggs. Here are 3 photos of Quasar alone and then...

Could someone help? Almost every duckling in this hatch has externally pipped, and I have a duckling who seemed to be internally pipping but after 1.5 days wasn’t progressing so I made a safety air hole in the air sac. By peeking in I saw the membrane had pulled away from the shell and I also...

Thanks @chickens really

Oh, @Miss Lydia, I'm sorry. :hugs

Thank you @casportpony

Thank you @Miss Lydia

Thank you @Knighstar679.

@Miss Lydia - We are all grieving over here. Both of them were so beautiful and seemed to perk up and do well. Started drinking little sips of water, did the Nutri-drench. Then yesterday Angelica was fine and 20 minutes later she was gone. Today, Anise was bouncing around, even tried the warm...

OK - thanks a lot! @Miss Lydia

Thank you, Miss Lydia! In the hours of reading I have done on this amazing site, you are always so kind to people, especially newbies like me. When casportpony responded to me I was elated based on all I have read from her and Pyxis to duck families. Thanks again!

Thanks to you all for the help!!! :highfive: I tried the lid of a bottle to offer water but she wasn't interested. Amazon delivered (yay!) and I think I just got a drop of Nutri-drench in her, but it was pretty challenging. She's so tiny! She's back in the incubator sleeping. Her sibling isn't...

Thanks, chickens really & casportpony! It is such a relief to have input and a plan. I probably shouldn't have dipped her beak into the water dish. The other duckling did fine with the water and drank again on his own, but prob too early for her. I'll try these suggestions. They are back in the...

Thank you, casportpony! :love I don't have nutridrench but I just ordered it on Amazon so by 9 pm today, I will. How do you administer the water/Gatorade - on a q-tip? Do you think she'd be better off staying in her incubator with the other call duckling for today? I debated whether giving her...

Glad you noticed that. She doesn't usually make a clicking sound when breathing, but when she was trying to walk in that video, she did make that noise.

We have a 2-day-old call duckling who needed an assisted hatch on April 29. One of her feet was curled so we applied a splint on April 30 and removed this morning on May 1. Angelica (no idea of gender - calling her "she" for now) seems to be much better. However, when Angelica tries to walk, she...

Does anyone out there hatch by weight? I'm using the dry sponge idea above to lower humidity. When it comes to weight, I'd love some expertise!

Thanks, Knighstar679! I appreciate the ideas! :-)

We are incubating duck eggs for the second time. Last round we had a good hatch rate (20 of 22 eggs with some assistance) with Rouens just watching air cell size and adjusting humidity. This time we have Indian Runners, Calls and 1 Rouen and we have been weighing the eggs starting on Day 1, Day...

Friends - We have been so busy caring for our little ones I didn’t get back online. We have 20 healthy little ducklings! There were a handful who needed help coming into this world, but you wouldn’t know it now. Thanks to another post on this site, we learned how to make a splint for one who was...
