    4 week gosling stopped being able to walk

    Thank you. Since we have had her, she has had plain white cotton towels in her brooding box and her legs still flop out to her sides. She is really trying to stand up and then chirps fast and loud, which I’m sure frustrates her to not be able to stand or walk for close to a week now. I think the...

    Help - first timer and worried

    Anyone on this thread feel strongly against moving them to the brooder box after 12 hours (first two) and 4 hours (third one)? The first two starters pipping on Saturday AM and hatched at 5am Monday, so it’s been 12+ hours since full hatch for two, it would be 4+ for the third hatch. My concern...

    Does this one look OK to those who know? Hopefully not shrink wrapped? Looks a little tan for the interior membrane, but I’m still learning. It’s tried to push through a few times and the membrane pushes out and then back in

    Thank you very much. I may try that tonight with one of them that has shown an external pip, as it would be close to 36-40 hours at that point and no visible signs of any progress or movement

    Help - first timer and worried

    We have 5 abandoned mallard eggs that we were able to collect and have a Brinsea 600 incubator that have been in for 26 days. yesterday AM around 8am (a little over 24 hours ago) 2 of the duckling eggs seemed to have a “pip” in the shell. A few hours later, one more pipped. The pip is truly...
