    Is this duckling shrink wrapped?

    Ditto, we had lost one right after this one hatched .. minutes. He was 3 days old . We barely held it together to bury him.. we were both surprised on how attached we got . But yes fingers crosssed .. :/ if by morning he’s still on his back .. well. But here’s hoping !

    40 hour zip… does he look ok??

    I was trying not to open the incubator when I had eggs that pipped . So as not to shrink wrap them. I could move him.. but if he can’t stay under the heat.. I can maybe fit a small cup. But I don’t have any non glass ones that small , they get too hot .. the humidity is down to 60..

    40 hour zip… does he look ok??

    He’s fluffing out now and really trying to stand.. banging all around the incubator .. and now chirping .. I hope I don’t have to cull.. never done it .. I know it’s life .. was hard enough to bury the one we hit attached to..
