Yes the skull seemed intact looked more like an abrasion from hatching but I’m no expert… she looked like she was doing better early today but around 11am she started to look really weak lasted about 1/2 hour and died in my hands.

Thank you for all the help… we’ve got him 2 friends as tractor supply has a minimum of 2 ducklings… he was a little weirded out but they seem to have adjusted to each other. I didn’t think about the mirror or stuffy but good to know for future reference.

Things seemed to be looking up but sadly this morning the little one passed away… 😔 😢 😭 my kids are heartbroken 💔 Rocket fought hard

I bought the poultry cell I see it has the vitamins it needs… I hope it does the trick… 🙏🏼

I hope so too… these are the things I’ve been giving them… in case anyone was wondering and could give me feedback on it. We’ve raised ducks since one week (their parents) but never newborn hatchlings and definitely not with these special circumstances.

Sorry so late… the duckling is still doing ok. I keep coaxing it to drink so electrolytes and probiotics mixture I got at tractor supply and I also blended up some duck pellets to make a fine powder to add to water so it could eat and get vitamins from the feed. The bump has gone down a bit but...

We just hatched 2 ducklings yesterday, whose mother vanished one night a few weeks ago. We didn’t have an incubator for the first 3 almost 4 days. We just used a heat lamp as we were awaiting the incubator. They’ve stayed in the incubator but only 2 out of 10 eggs hatched. One of the ducklings...

Thank you I’ll do that 😊

Thank you I’ll check that out 😊
