so after the emergency hatch, up all night feeding with dropper! I am happy to say my half khaki Campbell half Muscovie duckling has totally amazed me, now 48 hours after he is walking around and running, eating food on his own and drinking and doing so good I'm glad that I intervened with the...
Had to get it out it was shrink wrapped bad! It's doing ok very weak ! Giving it water with a dropper and some vitamins! Hope this little guy makes it not really waking and seems to just want to sleep! Any help would be great!
So my female duck stopped sitting on half khaki Campbell half Muskovy eggs. I put the 5 fertilized eggs in the incubator. Not knowing how far along they all are! To make a long story short I am down to one, and have been on lock down for the past 7 days Thursday night it externally pipped mind...
It hatched but I am concerned it came completely out of the egg on its own, but there is a small part of the umbilical cord still attached to the baby! Looks like a hole with a black slimy string should I do any thing about it or let it dry up

So I think I am just going to keep doing what I have been and hope for the best I candled all eggs early to see the air cell all seem to have a slop in the air cell and to all be about the same one is larger then the rest so I not sure I am just going to wait and hope that all hatch less the 2...
Not sure what that is " salt test "? I have had so many different answers as to how high the humidity should be everyone has said 40 50 55 % not sure ??
So I posted some pic's on the incubation thread, and some have made comments of my humidity being too high and concern with the air cell in my 16 day duck eggs can any one give me any advice as to if my air cells look about right? And also they is lots of movement in all 4 eggs they go crazy...
