We had the family dog play and bite our ducklings when they were beginning to hatch and we had one that was the exact same way... I don't know how well it will recover; ours didn't make it because it was just too young, weak and injured and didn't have enough around the clock care. If it...

I can look into it if you would like :)

Thanks! Yea, I am just throwing this post out there in case anyone was looking for assorted chicks, If I don't find anyone in need of chicks or wants the eggs i'ma just feed them to the skunk outside.

For my birthday and graduation present in May I received a 58 egg incubator and just this week tested it out, it has been running since July 22 using eggs from a local farm. I candled them a few days ago to just check things out and 5 eggs were fertile! Today, July 28th, I checked to see all...

Oh gosh I forgot about this thread- In the end the fertilization for all the eggs was 100% Day two I Dropped the lid on two eggs. One was cracked in half and the other was damaged but I used some wax and tissue paper to fix it. Unfortunately by day 10 the baby stopped growing and eventually all...

Thanks!

I have 3 Magicfly Digital Mini Semi Automatic Egg Incubator 10 Eggs Poultry Hatcher for Chickens Ducks Goose Bird I bought them a while back for a school project and ended up using them for quails, ducks, and a goose egg. It is a forced air incubator and has a good heater but does not have...

When you are feeding brewers yeast/nutritional yeast mix one tablespoon of yeast per 1 cup of the starter feed. If you have vitamin water for them, what we did was mix some of the vitamin water with the food. The niacin is really important for the ducklings, they may look fine now but from...

Make sure while you are treating the duckling it is under the heat lamp!

Im glad im not the only one experiencing this <3

Yes, that is what I kept trying to remind myself when we lost the 3 babies. I am happy to now have the knowledge to keep my future ducklings safe and healthy, its just very sad it had to come at the cost of a few lives.

All the ducks are fine, healthy, and growing as they should (even that little one who was struggling two days ago), we switched them over to a red heat lamp last night and have adjusted really well to it. Today they had their first mini 'bath' in a little tub that was deep enough to soak their...

@Isaac 0 @Miss Lydia The baby that died from seizing was born May 12th around 8 am naturally from its egg with no visible issues. Up until then the duckling was acting normally like any other duckling. Here is an image of the ducklings naval: The duckling died around 4:40 am and the image was...

Thanks for the support, I will keep an eye out on the rest of the flock. I suspect this was one of the surviving babies that were crushed since its umbilical area had a large thick cord on it and you could still see a very small yolk being absorbed @Miss Lydia .

Short update I was woken up at 4 am by a really tiny duckling crying and being unresponsive, it was cold and pretty limp so I moved them into the heat and it looks to be doing better. While I was making sure that little duckling was doing well I was watching the other ducklings sleep and saw a...
