So I woke up today & my baby was gone :( I'm so completely heartbroken, I can't even put it into words. He did sleep a ton, & he kept trying to walk but couldn't & did seem weak last night, so I tried to give him food & water & he just wouldn't accept it, but I went to bed thinking that...
OMG guys, I had him in his shell for nothing ! I took him out to check & he flopped out & the waste just broke off ! He has a tiny bit of cord, I think I'll leave it be. No wonder he was trying to get out, lol. I appreciate all of you so much ! My ducky owes his life to all of you !
I just looked at the " yolk " ( or so I thought ) & it does look greenish now ! I think that he may have the cord still, I know he did earlier...is it safe for me to remove him from the cup & check ?
OMG I think I messed up then ! He has nothing except the cord on his belly, but the end of that cord looks exactly like a yolk ? It's a yellow blob ? Is that normal for egg waste ? I'm soooo confused now
Oh & from what I could see earlier it looked like....this will sound odd, but like there is an umbilical cord ?? attached to him, that ends in the yolk.
Yes, I'm maybe 90% sure that I saw the yellow blob of yolk but I do think that it looked smaller, at least a bit ! Definitely making sure that he's warm ( I had the heat lamp towards him, just not real close cause it does get SUPER hot if so ) but his exposed parts are dry & he is fluffy :love...
Thank you ! No, those were the very last, unfortunately. I'm super bummed about it ! My little guy just starting freaking out in his cup, chirping up a storm & moving all around so much that I had to kinda re - position him. He tried kicking out of the egg & I got a very quick look at the yolk...
Awesome, thank you !!! This really puts my mind at ease ! I'm going to try & stop hovering so much, I think I'm driving myself insane, lol ! I just want him to be okay...the last egg died today :(
Okay guys, so I still have my baby in the cup & he is sleeping a lot & calm like you said he would be, BUT I keep watching him ( admittedly, I haven't really stopped hovering lol...but I don't disturb him or wake him ) for chewing or yawning motions & it just isn't happening ! He did a couple of...
Thank you so much, that means the world to me because I feel like I keep botching everything ! I also lost an egg last night, so this is very draining, but if I can save even one of these babies, I'll be so happy
Once again, you guys are lifesavers ! Thank you ! I have him in the cup & he is mad ! Okay, nevermind, now he is nodding off, lol. Will he still be able to walk away when this is all done ?
