Ended up with 13. I'm pleased with that.

Wow Katie! You got some pretty colors! Congrats!! :love I have 5 in the brooder, 2 hatched in one incubator along with 2 in mid-assist, one trying to zip on its own in the hatcher, and several external pips in the hatcher. If calls don't progress, they usually need help, so as soon as I...

4 external pips! Just started about 5 hours ago, so its still early. How are yours doing?

:ya

Annnnnd we wait..... :pop

Nice!! I'm moving my call duck eggs to the hatcher in just a few hours!

While I certainly appreciate it, that's way too much credit for me! You did a great job! I was happy to be a part of it.

:love they are adorable!

:clap can you post some pics of the ducklings

Booties are great. Leave them on for a day, take them off and see how he does. If the are still curled, put them back on for another day. 48-72 hours should be plenty to fix him up. Glad the others are getting stronger. I bet they will all be fine, happy, pooping up a storm and making a huge...

Katie, I think Nutridrench is great! I'm not sure if there's an overdose point on or not. I usually give a drop or two, straight from the dropper, then follow with clean water. I rarely have to do that more than 2 or 3 times.

Any updates?

It is recommended by some, but I don't listen very well :D I do what works for me, as I think everyone should do what works for them. There are those that say not to assist a hatcher, and not to open the incubator in the last 3 days for anything too! I see reasons on both sides of the coin, and...

Duckling won't need water to bathe in, but they do need drinking water deep enough to get their whole bills in, to keep their nares cleared out.

I take mine out of the incubator in just a few hours. Rarely leave them longer than 6-8 hours, but that's up to you. Brooder temp is best to let them tell you. Have warm and cooler sides, watch where they spend the most time. If they stay out of the warm side, it's too warm. If they huddle...

So sweet!! kankunkid, great job getting the little one out! I've assisted many, so i know how satisfying it is!

Unfortunately they don't always all make it, but yea for the hatchers!! Congrats!! :clap I hope you will post some pics!

Nice! Congrats on the pips. Yellowing is usually a sign of drying out, but not too bad unless it gets really brown and dry looking. If you feel like its too dry, you can use a q-tip with a little vaseline or coconut oil to moisten it up. What you want to see is papery white, to camp gray...

It depends on where it pips. Many times they can make it on their own, even from the wrong end. Others need assistance. But assisting isn't difficult if it comes to that. Basically, without going into a ton of details right now, you remove the end of the egg, and let the baby progress and push...
