    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    Doing good! He does better with the aquatic pellets if I take them out of water and put on paper towel, and takes him just a little longer than the others, but still doing great. :)

    Broody killed her chick

    Yeah I wanted so badly for her to raise them. Didnt even think abt her being the problem until I saw her doing it. :(

    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    What are some good nutritional boosts for them? Doing nutridrench in water, Mazuri floating duck food, and non medicated organic chick starter with a little grit. I'm new to Call Ducks completely (got my first ones abt 2mos ago) and this is my first incubator hatch for ducks..plenty of chicks...

    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    I'm up for a PM. Lol. He is thriving? Doing well? Then dont worry abt judgy people. I was a little worried too, bc I had a breeder say "you should've culled it" when I asked if she had ever hatched any like this. I was worried that would be the general consensus. But if Sid is happy and...

Walked in on 3rd day to her pecking ones back (it died shortly after I removed them), and another dead. Inspected remaining chicks and...

    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    Your duck? Do you have a picture? Curiosity is getting the best of me. Lol. Been browsing pics of animal deformities. Some that look like they could never survive, thrive happily and normally.

    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    Welp. Sid doesnt look that severe, imo. So that's hopeful. :)

    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    I was thinking the same thing, that it might fill in a little as it grows. Really, hes eating and splooshing his bill in the water as much as the others...I was super surprised at the dry food intake. Just figured I would be offering him soft food only, but hes doing great so far! Yay! :)

    Hatched Call Duckling with deformed bill

    Acquired some Call Duck eggs for hatching. 18. Put 10 under broody hen and 8 in incubator. Only 1 started development under hen, so I brought it in with others in incubator. Blood ring in a couple, late death in a couple more. 1 malpositioned, died in hatch. 4 hatched, but 1 of them has a...
