My duckling has something coming out of it's tummy, was hatched 3 days ago and has been perfectly fine and today this knot appears and then it's as of her insides are falling out! She's not even acting like anything is wrong, I don't know what this is or what to do! Any advice would be appreciated
Greetings my non-feathered friends
I didn't want to start a new thread because my last one has so many subscribers but I need fast advice on this, the lid keeps popping off my Bator, this has never happened before but it has been going non stop for almost a month now :(
Has anyone else had this...
I have 9 Mallards incubation I have religiously turned the eggs several times a day, today is day 15 and I candled last night checking progress
All babies look perfect except 1 he's moving and growing but not taking up the entire egg like the others, has alot of clear yolk behind him :(
Idk...
I'm on day 16 of incubation, candled the eggs (mallards) all look great except this one:(
No movement or growth..has the hatchling died? How can I tell? Please someone help
I'm on day 11 , I candled all 11 eggs , everything checks out great, all 11 are developing wonderfully, this one is different than the rest. Are these 2 black spots 2 separate babies?? Please someone weigh in
Today is day 7 I candled my Mallard eggs and everyone is very active, so much movement, heartbeats and all, one of my eggs definitely has 2 babies, 2 separate embryos, 2 heart beats....what do I do now! They can't possibly both grow and survive. I'm lost here :(
Today is day 7 I candled all 11 eggs which came in the mail, everyone is fertile, I see movement in all 11 eggs and can see the air sac in all but 1
The little embryo is quite active, strong heartbeat, visible eyes spot, nice veins and no air sac? What do I do now???
I am on day 5 of incubation and went to turn my eggs this morning and 2 of them are severely damaged!!! I have absolutely NO IDEA what happened or how the eggs ended up damaged as I wasn't even home and the eggs were fine when I left them. Both eggs have developing embryos that I can clearly...
I'm going to possibly need to find homes for some ducklings I am incubating that are due to hatch around Christmas. I ordered some eggs not thinking all 11 would be fertile as the fertility rate is only about 50% in mail order eggs. As of right now all the eggs are showing signs of a developing...
I received some Mallard eggs to hatch today, the date of laying was November 30th, I have been told different things as to when to start incubation. Do I start incubation today or do I wait 24 hours and then start incubation?? No instructions were sent on this and I don't want to unknowingly...
I ordered some duckling eggs off of eBay, so far none of the eggs appear to be fertile, I have not yet decided to stop incubation even though I feel it's a wasted effort. I did crack one of the eggs open today to confirm my suspicions and saw a white ring on the yolk, which only confused me...
Someone PLEASE HELP I ordered 6 Mallard duck eggs, candled them this morning to check fertility and only one had a blastoderm visible. The edges are from the same Hen so I am unsure if they would all develop at a different rate? I'm including a picture of the egg that appears to be fertile and...
I have a abandoned baby gosling that could no longer keep up with its parents. I watched this Baby struggle for days before I went down to my pond to get her and noticed she walked with a limp and her eyes were badly infected. She was also a great deal smaller than her siblings. I have been...
My duckling egg keeps getting new dark spots on its shell everyday. I've done everything I could do and I'm uncertain as to what these spots are. Today they were closer to the air sac in a circular motion. Is he trying to get out and can't.
My hatch batch app days tomorrow is hatch day but these...
I am the mom of 12 ducks
Today 1 of my babies died from bumblefoot, after being treated by a farm vet. I just wanted to stop in and say that I'm so glad I found this page and I hope whatever your problems are with your feathered babies that they are resolved.
This lose has taken a major toll on...
I'm on day 29 with my duckling egg, everything up to this point had been wonderful, I've never tried to hatch an egg so idk what I'm doing but what I e done so far has worked there is a baby duck within the shell. Today however when I went to check on it I noticed dark spots on the egg almost...
I've been incubating a duck egg I found after something destroyed the nest. I have so far had great success with just my heat light and making my own humidity. The duckling has grown according to all charts and moves when I put it in water. We are on day 27 and the duckling hasn't broken the...
