    Sticky weak and cant hold its head up

    Our little one isn't making it unfortunately, it's just lying there now. So I've put him in the incubator on a blanket to keep warm. He's not opened his eyes out eaten anything. His head is still floppy.

    Late hatching sticky duck egg, very weak

    One is up and chirping, but the other one is still struggling to get up and keep it's head up. They're still not eating, but they're still here, so that's good.

    Sticky weak and cant hold its head up

    Thank you so much for the advice. One is up and chirping but one is still very wobbly And both are not eating yet. I have seen something about putting them in a shock to keep them up right until they can hold themselves. Have you tried this? Thank you again so much

    using a tarp

    Ah I'll have a look at the difference, i am still bothered if they will try to eat it when they hatch. I put them on puppy pads sheets while they were in the brooder last time but that was the years ago. It ment they didn't slip, everything soaked up and they didn't eat it. I'll look up shaving...

    Blue egg, black chick, breed?

    Thanks was thinking araucana, as they are from blue eggs, but not seen them looking so wild. I think I may have ended up with three cockerel then because the other one a bar leg is defiantly a cockerel. Ow well will have to start again, as we hatched them.
