Oh poor Donsjie II. Do you have a heat lamp you could use? At this age they should have a heat lamp during the night at least

Oh congrats!! She may just look smaller because now the others are so big!

They should be fine. They're still young

Awesome!!! So happy for you about Donsjie's egg!!

All of mine are doing great!! They got to sit outside together unattended today.

Awww so glad they're doing well!!! Don't leave them in the water unattended until they're older. They could drown

I have the little chick waterer (with the bigger base) in the rabbit cage with them, but I also have 2 rabbit bottles for them. The ducks use all three within hours! All the chicks get are a couple sips and a bath from their water loving friends.

With my silkies last summer I used rabbit bottles so they couldn't drown and get it dirty. But I don't know if you could do that with ducks

It's more. Just the umbilical cord I think. I'll try to get a good pic

Good! I have 11 out of 12 hatched. The one I had to help has a bloody umbilical cord

Ohhh they're precious! They're mallards? Donsjies egg may not make it if it was out a long time while you cleaned.

I couldn't bear to watch him, so I helped him. The membrane (I think that's what it was) was really tough, so that may be why he had trouble. It was defiantly ready to come out. Poor thing, tho. I think it's head is cramped from the position it was in, cause it's having a little trouble keeping...

This little duck is having a lot of trouble getting out. Should I help him?

Ok. Do you have a heat lamp? It needs to be around 100° in there for them. And you lower it about 5° every week. If they're too hot they'll pant and probably spread out. If they're cold the cuddle right under the heat

I think the red fluid is ok. My ducks' egg shells each had a little blob of gooey nasty greenish stuff (sorry, that's morbid). So you have how many eggs in there? And so far 2 have hatched? They probably won't eat for a while because they absorb the yolk, which "feeds" them all they need for up...

Well, 6 littles crawling all over hatching eggs isn't exactly ideal. They were sleeping on and off, but I didn't want to have to worry about them squashing pipped eggs.

Awe it's so cute! My little ducks are resting all over the eggs and each other. I had to move the chicks and 3 of the 6 ducks to the brooder because they were being so spastic!

As long as you do it super quick they should be fine. I moved the 3 chicks and 3 ducks into a brooder, but left he newest 3 ducklings in jncubator. Aren't ducklings the cutest?!?

Goody! Whatever you do, don't help him get out
