Ok so big mistake... :confused: I put the little newbie in with the ones that hatched before and they started pecking it!!! Soooooo Not sure what to do....:oops: I removed the baby and put him/her in a single brooder again.

She does!!! She won't let our male dog near them. She licks them and lays by their brooder box at night. We catch her looking in on them all the time during the day

The one that took its time to get out of shell died last night and it was perfectly fine so I don't understand!! The one with the yolk sac is still hanging in!!

I'm learning so much here!

:th

Ok!

Update on the other ones that hatched a week ago though..... :)

I had a little medicine syringe and I put it to their bill to let some touch it because it has electrolytes in it. They both got maybe 1 drop but I didn't want to force them to take any.

Culled? Not sure what that means? I hope they survive!!! I've been talking to them and they have warmth so I'm hoping they can rest and get better!

What should their brooder temp be? It's at 100 the thermometer says :/

Yes :( I wiped it from the nose with a Qtip We moved them from the incubator to a small brooder with a heat lamp because in the incubator they kept trying to get up and they were stepping and sliding because of the moisture on the sac(the other one is out and it seems to have a little sac but...

The yolk is like coming out of the ducklings nostrils a little :( Please is this ok???

This is this morning when I smelled something horrid. I thought he had passed but they are very much alive! But it looks like this..... so now I have him resting again a little cleaned off in a little dish with a soft sock.

How do they draw it in? Does it take a long time? :confused:

I hesitated to even do anything once we saw the sac because I remember you guys saying do not touch them or you can kill them. But he came out faster than any of the other eggs. It seriously was like 12 hours and he was half way out ! It's very sad! The other egg is still taking its time!
