    Duckling Assisted Hatch SOS

    Humidity was at 55-60% for most of incubation and then I raised it to 75% for lockdown. Sadly one ducky died, the other two (after multiple attempts and hours later) I finally found their heads and pulled them through the inner membrane, they are both pretty weak but I'm hopeful. I managed to do...

    Duckling Assisted Hatch SOS

    On the third egg I accidentally nicked the inner membrane (no blood vessel luckily) and now there is a clear fluid coming out as well!

    Duckling Assisted Hatch SOS

    Hi All, I have some Pekin/Mallard cross ducklings that i have been incubating. I am on Day 32 and while they were still alive I felt like I needed to investigate why they had not pipped internally. I have broken open the air cell only to find that they are ALL upside down (I now know this is...

    How Long to Wait, Day 32

    I opened up air cell and they are ALL upside down. MY guess is they spent too much time on their side. That being said air cell is open (im having a hard time finding the head in any of them) so now what. I rubbed inner membrane down with bacitracin to keep moist...but now im at a complete loss...

    Failed Float Test, Only Half of Shell Full, But It's Alive With No Internal Pip, Day 30

    My Pekin has been "laying" with our Mallard duck resulting in a bunch of eggs so I figured I would try incubating them and see what happens. 3 out of 5 are doing great but were on day 30 now and no pipping. I just float tested and candled the other 2 in question, one is bad the other however I...

    Review by '' on item 'Cayuga'

    "Ducky" our Cayuga is my favorite out of all our ducks (we have pekins, rouens, and muscovys). She follows me everywhere and even comes running when I yell to her. She will even snuggle me. She gets along great with our other ducks but is always the first one to great me at the door. Very...

    Is it too late for this duckling?

    Unfortunately she did not make it through to morning :( For future reference to avoid this can someone explain how she was so late to Hatch but clearly needed more time to absorb her yolk even though most veining was gone in the membrane? I know my humidity dropped for a day or so but could...
