What does this mean?!?

He was saying that he is going outside to work and for someone else to pick up the slack of getting to know you

Just curious. My pip from sometime around 2 am, is still a pip, it's chirping and rocking, but the inside membrane directly under the pip hole is brown. The humidity is around 75, it had dropped to 58 overnight.

The pip area on the first one to pip was yellow, but the chick hatched clean, not sticky (it was the first to pip, but second to hatch). Both chicks are clean, dry and fluffy, not sticky.

So you take viable eggs from the wood ducks' nest?

the ones that are left after she leaves with the baby's.I wait two days after then go check

Seth, they wouldn't be viable if they have been unattended for 2 days. Also they would be very near to hatch. Are you sure the mother duck had finished hatching and left with chicks or was she just scared away?

Makes no sense at all to me. Also not sure if that would be even legal to take wild bird eggs (at least in California).

Either way it will be impossible to safley reintroduce them back into the wild after you have raised them and they are imprinted on you and rely on you for food.

Hopefully they will hatch but please leave your hen in peace to do it

nutrition could be the problem. They need more protein, fat, vitamin A, D and Niacin than chick starter has.

It could also be the leg growing faster than the skin. I don't know if that's true but I've heard it.



If un-incubated for 2 days after the others hatch, these won't.

yes they will I did last year and hatched four of them
