I did everything I possibly could to try and save him
He was my little sidekick and
Definitely won my heart over
I had vet bills at 700.00 and had every vitamin going in him daily
I don’t regret trying as I got to spend a month with a very special little one
After watching my new little...
I’m lucky and my babies are able to be sex linked at birth so I Know he was a boy :)
At just short of 4 weeks I had to make a tough choice and have him put down
It sill makes me tear up talking about him
I did get his back bone to straighten to his neck and his crop to go from the side to...
Great job !! They will love it
My little one is doing okay. Still needing help but each day he gets a little better.
He has decided to under water dive but he can’t preen himself yet he tries but his neck doesn’t reach to his oil gland so I gently used my finger to rib a few times like he...
My little one has got so much better
Today he walked on his own :)
Still wobbly and falls but it’s a huge milestone for him
It’s just about time now
He will recover but could take a few weeks
I have been loading him with vitamins and lots of baths 4 or more a day to help that leg that’s a bit...
This guys neck is twisted a bit
I can feel from where the spine meets the neck it’s more right
But I hold him a lot and softly get his neck and head to stretch the other way
Yesterday in his bath all he could do is tight circles to the left. Today he was swimming all over the tub straight and...
That’s so awesome :)
Lucky ducks to have you as mom
His legs didn’t show anything out of Place but it did show his growth in his bones is under what it should be. Most likely due to his room in his egg ti grow as both ends were blocked with air cells
We make a little progress but this bring in...
We are headed to the vet this morning
There is an issue with his hip and hopefully they can pop it back in or show me how to wrap it till it heals
He has a lot more energy today and trying to walk but this hip isn’t working for him
The vitamins are slowly helping his neck get stronger. Even...
He sure is
But he is full of pep
He had eaten and drank with help as he can’t walk yet.
He loves to cuddle and talk to you
He also likes to be covered up
He is now resting with his fake friends abd his blanket
He is absorbed but his has wry neck
I’m trying to give him water with vitamin b complex and I gave him a tiny bit of nutridrench on the finger
I really hope he can get better
He is chirping and loves to be held
At 5:30 this morning I had to pull him out. He was stiff completely glued to his shell and the goo had him stiff.
I got most of it off he can now move his head and neck. He just has a swollen belly with a tiny bit to absorb. He is now in a bowl with dry paper towel and plastic wrap over the...
He is still chewing and sleeping lots
When I talk to him he opens his eye and looks at me.
I brought him home from the school so I can watch him through the night. We used a converter to keep it plugged in on the road trip home :)
He was hardly breathing when I got there
I made the choice to pull his neck and head out he still has 75% of his shell left so he is nicely sitting in it inside a bowl with paper towel
He was not in the air cell at all so he was pushed into that little bit if egg
No wonder he struggled
I see...
Sorry I was on duckling duty
If that believe again you can clip the cord an inch or a bit more away from babies belly
Baby G is really struggling now I may have to pull his neck out and let him finish in his shell in a cup
Yay !!!
We had another one at midnight
That’s 4 out of 5
Baby 5 I’m praying he is going to pull through. He has hit veins as the bruising has gone all over the egg. We have no idea where the beak is but can see breathing movements from the body at the lower part of the air cell
Made a safety...
I had help :)
I hadn’t run into that before so asked @WVduckchick and she gave me advice on how to start then monitor
If you have one zip the wrong way they may need help
I will he able to write a book soon on every way a duckling can hatch beyond the normal way :)
