Upside down baby is still in same spot, and...

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Thank you. Im hoping it goes much smoother from here on out. I will post updates as new things happen. Duck 2 is still working the shell, about a half inch left on one side. I feel like a couple good pushes might just get it there. The upside down egg is just chillin. I dont think it wants to...

    It does look a little smaller. Its all dried up kind of like a scab. I think thats good, then less bacteria can harm it rather than it being wet and sticky. Hes doing great, introduced him to water and he took to it. No food yet, which is normal i believe, but its in there just in case he gets...

    1st baby is doing great. He sleeps then peeps, then sleeps, then waddles around and scratching his feathers with his foot. Too cute. I'm not sure how often theyre supposed to peep at this stage. Idk if its because he's brand new and trying out his voice, or if its because the hernia bothers him...

    One of the other eggs just pipped at the wrong end. I can see it breathing in there so it should be just fine right? Leave it to Daisy to give me a clutch of special babies.

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Thats why I was so worried. He seems really content under the heat lamp. Since hes by himself I just put an old tshirt down and let him lay on that in the rubbermaid tub. He kept hanging his head over the edge of the box and it made me nervous.

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Here's some better pictures. Hes very active and wanting to wobble around. I put him in a tiny cardboard box with tissues on the bottom. I took him out of the incubator and put him in under a heat lamp so hes separated from the other eggs. Plus, in the incubator he kept trying to stand up tall...

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Egg one is finally here!!!! <3 It's very vocal! I'm a little concerned about it though. For one its bottom looks abnormal, to me anyways, is that what its supposed to look like freshly hatched? Also, its beak looks a little tore up. Is it just from hatching? Is this normal? Is this an unhealthy...

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Thanks! I havent touched them since I did the two safe holes. Much more progress this morning. The first egg is broken through and you can see the beak popping in and out of the hole and each time she peeps. The second egg has a whole line of cracks across the air sac side of the egg. And As I...

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Yes, that was the one. I know, I'm not doing anything other than the safe hole. I dont want to do anything to hurt them. I just find myself sitting there and watching them jiggle and peep for long periods of time lol. I have to peel myself away to get house work done and cook! haha. How much...

    Help! My Momma Pekin Duck Daisy is Missing. What do I do with her Eggs?

    Progress! Its been 24 hours. I found a guide on here for helping them hatch just in case so I knew what to do and she recommended to put a safe hole to garantee no suffocation. So I did. Woke up this morning to a crack and part of the shell coming up, so I think we've officially hit external...
