    Duckling acting lethargic HELP!

    Sorry for the late reply, I tried to rush him to another vet but he passed on the way there. They have a brooder plate in a mid sized storage container (there were only 4 of them). They were given in medicated grower pellets small enough for them to eat and a small bowl of water. I supervised...

    Duckling acting lethargic HELP!

    So ive got a duckling that is just a few days old. Yesterday he was doing well, moving around, eating and drinking but this morning he has stopped eating, drinking and has very little energy (he fell on his back and barely moved his legs to get back up). He has been sleeping all day and looks...

    Weird gunk on abdomen after hatch

    So 12 hours later it looks like it has healed a lot more. It’s no longer gunky and looks almost dry.

    Egg aircell larger than other eggs

    Is there still hope for the single egg? Have heard that eggs with large air cells make weak birds

    Egg aircell larger than other eggs

    It’s an automatic roller incubator so I haven’t needed to roll them. I have been shuffling the placement of the eggs every few days too but the egg is currently in a warmer spot which might be causing this?

    Egg aircell larger than other eggs

    Air cell isn’t detached, just about twice the size of the other eggs.

    Egg aircell larger than other eggs

    I have 17 eggs in an incubator and all going well. Today I went to check on them and one has a much larger aircell than all the other eggs. They are about a week from hatching so need to figure out how to balance the eggs in a way where they all have correct aircells when they hatch. Is there...
