Oh my goodness! Absolutely heartbreaking! What a beautiful baby!Sorry for your loss
I to had this happen and mine lasted a little longer but still passed
I also used wax and opened my egg to see what happened
My baby had feathers that was pure white was small as it wasn’t hatch time yet but was developed perfectly
It was a shock to me as I had never got a white baby before
With pekin mom and khaki dad I was use to brown and black
But that meant my other drake must have got her who carried a white gene as it’s the only way
Not sure yet how the baby had pure white as they usually are born yellow
Maybe they change yellow before hatch ?
I was also heart broken
I can’t remember but I think day 20 give or take a few
I’m so sensitive with animals it just breaks my heart. I hope they don’t suffer.
I just can’t get this right and it’s really affecting me, as I spend hours a day fussing with the incubator and simply can’t get it to hold. I don’t know what to do.
I know I should cancel and remove the dead ones, but I’m afraid because I get so deeply saddened.
What am I doing wrong?
