Good job katie246

I have a question, now even baby chiks eat very little within the first week or so, but in comparison overall do ducks eat less? How would you describe their eating habits and portions

Congrats Katie on everyone eating, n doing OK, he may extend his toes better as he gathers strength,

Also if he's still not eating put some feed into his water bowl just a bit about a pinch or two every refill so he can get dome protein one way or another

If you can separate the weak one from the group, but who ever else was born before him or is also wobbly, you can put those two together for company so the stronger ones don't interrupt his sleep, or meal time, I believe those two to be key in getting stronger

My rescued loner is doing fine, slightly weak, but strong enough to jump up a few times, his brooder is under an iorning board and so he don't get lonely I put an extra phone with sounds of ducks, so he tries to jump to get to where he hears the sound, his neighbors (2 turkhens and a leg horn...

Just finished seeing all the different types of domesticated ducks, ... I want em all, especially the vit bau with his father collar :)

If its a still air defenetly sop up sum excess water if its forced are just about half, and the fan will take care of the rest

Katie246, as long as you have no other pips and everyone is half way out, just lower the humidity slightly by about 3% so they dry off faster is it still or forced air, and as long as they have no shell around them they can't get shrink wrapped so if you need to take anyone out you can open the...

Thanks wv, luckily his water recipient is the top of the 5 gallon water bottles so his bill goes in about twice as much. I transferred him about an hour ago even though he was only born at 12pm last night but was pretty much dried up for the most part, funny thing, first I put a YouTube video so...

Excellent news, I remember my first batch of chickies slept about 12 hours a day at least for the first 4 or 5 days, I think this ducky might be the same. Those weak chiks turned out big n strong .

Transfered to brooder, with red heat lamp, far corner 100 Cady corner 85, put him on top of a pillow case and covered him, I know this sounds funny, but will he need a bathing bowl, dose he need to keep his webs hydrated?

Gig. He's EATING!! nice big mouthfuls, just saw him take 2 then I walked away I like to give them their privacy and no interruptions when eating and drinking, especially this miracle bby.

Thanks katie246 , I only wanted to leave this only duckling in because he was born late and seemed lethargic, but I'm gonna set him up the brooder today , though we have a cold front I don't know how this is gonna play out.

Hey fell eggmates , question, is 86f really the ideal temp for a brooder,(duckling) I'm.planing on leaving him in the bator 72 hours he has plenty food n water, how should I adjust or keep the temp or humidity during the 72 hours

Update : good news, I had been watching him since 730am and he looked lethargic and weak, but I found a video on YouTube of another duckling calling out for his momma, and put it on replay, and since the first time he heard it his whole emotion changed, he's out n about, even took more sips of...

Katie if the cup is big enough for him to comfortably wiggle his way out of the lower half of the shell then there should be no.problem, but if its too small, blood is normal even when they hatch strong, or weak, but its not normal.to help peel.off the embryo and see the embryo wasn't devolped...

Well , I.learned a big lesson with this duckling , gig, first I would like to.point out my mistake, my wife handed me some eggs and when I saw them.I imeadeay was suspicion because the air sack and color of egg was very different, even though it was my first duck ever I should have knon better...

This is a metaphorical question, if a duckling hasn't broken the air cell, is he able to peck the very top of the shell, where the air cell is located? :/

Good news the lone egg of two that showed was pecking at the light when candled has pipped at 17 hundred hours ;) , gig.
