HELP, HELP I SCREWED UP.. he's still alive - Page 9

post #81 of 142
Thread Starter 

One of the two that i had first seen a crack, it maybe me, but it seems like ever once in a while his beak pops up, he has a hole it's not just the little circle with the cute little lines, he actually made a hole and I'm staring at it.  I could swear I see his little beak every once in a while but it could be my eyes are playing treats on me because I have stared at him for soooo long. 

 

Now the new guy HULK, he's having problems getting his head up.  He lifts his butt but his head goes right between his legs.   OH NO now he's on his back.  Hate to tell him this but he's on his own.  I'm not helping, not going to do it.  NOPE not when I have 4 others cracking.  Poor little thing, NOPE NOT DOING.  OK I'm walking away from the bator so I don't have to see him like this.  Good luck Hulk.. LOL.. Going to bed, see ya tomorrow. 

 

If he starts chirping, I'm gonna freak out..

Ducklings are very tired when they hatch, and uncoordinated. Don't worry for at least a day or 2. smile.png

I've had them take 3 days to figure out how to hold their head up right and walk, but I'll bet hulk surprises you and is running around the bator perfectly fine in the morning.
