Wow, who'd a thunk? Now you have me wanting to run out and look for some, LOL! If it's that hard to come by, maybe I need to keep some on hand! Yeah, that's true, been there done that.....

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound rude! I was just musing over wal mart not having something!

You can't find brewer yeast at wal mart? Wow.... I would think it would be in the baking section of any grocery market.... just ask a knowledgeable clerk for it..... It's not an unusual or difficult to find item....

Yes, any brand should work... good luck!

That's it! TSC might have it or other local feed stores, it's a fairly common product.... if they don't have sav-a-chick, ask at the counter if they have electrolytes for chickens/ducks, there are several brands on the market if they don't carry this one....

LOL! Yes a lot of people out here have them, I'd love to have some slug eaters! We have a large property, so I don't mind them flying as long as they come back! LOL...I've got some really tall trees too, boy they would be happy as clams

Wow, that's interesting, I'll definitely read up on that... I've thought about getting a few ducks, likely Muscovies. There is a marsh area right on my neighbor's property, so I'm afraid any ducks I got would just migrate over there and stay, LOL! They wouldn't last long out there with all the...

I don't mist...actually, I've never heard of it (but, lots of things I haven't heard of, LOL!) ......no, I just set a small well with a sponge and keep the numbers from 27-35% until day 18 and then add another well/sponge to get it up to 65-70. How often do you mist? Doesn't that make the...

Awesome!

Well that's great! At least we know that it's possible for (at least) some of them to breath and not drown in fluids.... How many do you have left to hatch?

Yes, at the end you do want to increase the humidity, so the duckling doesn't get stuck in the membrane, while trying to hatch. But, in the first days - up to lockdown, the goal is to slowly enlarge the air sac by drying the excess water out of the shell. That increases the breathing space and...

I'm a first time hatcher, and I'll admit I don't know too much, but I candled when I received my eggs (before setting them), again at day 7 and 14.... just to check the air cells.... Did you ever check them before lockdown? That could be the problem with your low hatch rates. Well, it sounds...

Oh wow, well, I don't there's much you can do at this point.... keep us posted on how things turn out... I wish I could say something more positive, but maybe things aren't as bad as you imagine.... Was the humidity at 80% the whole time?

Get your humidity down, to like 25%.... I don't know squat about ducks, but if you get the water out of your wells it will evaporate water out of the shells. How much time do you have before lockdown?
