    Duckling hatching two days early

    I had three eggs in my incubator all set to hatch different days. (The 15, 18, and 20) I noticed the other day that the one set to hatch the 20th already moved to the air cell. The one for the 18th pipped externally a day early. The one from the 15th had to be helped yesterday hatch because she...

    Dropped an egg during hatching

    Thanks she still seems fine today. She in the same position. She is making a chewing motion still so I'm assuming she's trying to finish absorbing her yolk. The vessels I seen on the bottom are starting to disappear now and nothing has leaked. So so far so good.

    Dropped an egg during hatching

    I messed up this is my first time hatching eggs. I have had ducks for years now and decided to hatch eggs. I dropped an egg its day going onto day 30. The bottom of the egg cracked and broke it did not rip the membrane though. I put a little Vaseline on that end, because it still had some veins...

    Duck with prolapsed vent

    Duck with prolapsed vent

    I'm worried she might also be egg bound. I do not want to touch it or move her more than I have to. She still seems to be pooping I'm not 100% sure though. I've offered her some greens and a few small pieces of tomato. Something I read said you shouldn't offer them regular layer feed to give...

    Duck with prolapsed vent

    I've been putting lube on it to keep it moist. I'm not sure but it may have ruptured or something. It's not inflating with air like it was. It's a lot smaller than it has been. I'm still trying to find a vet for her. I think I may have found one but have to wait till tomorrow when they open.

    Duck with prolapsed vent

    She's still alive, she's a fighter. It does not look as large and swollen today. But she's not doing any better.

    Duck with prolapsed vent

    The air goes out of it but then it fills back up. She was fine yesterday morning when I let them out. I came out maybe 3-4 hours later to change the water in their pool when I noticed it.

    Duck with prolapsed vent

    My 3 year old Pekin has a prolapsed vent it's pretty bad. She has been fine up until yesterday. I moved her inside on a blanket .She is still drinking, I haven't offered her food. I read that you should keep them in a dark room and only give water (to prevent from egg laying). I soaked her in a...
