What would the signs of that be and how could I try to prevent the last two from getting it? I was thinking maybe it could be an infection. It can't be a virus because we incubated our own ducks eggs and they haven't came in contact with any other animals and also all my ducks are doing well

That's the thing, they were eating and drinking really well right up until about an hour before their death. They both even pooped and it was normal. None of this makes any sense and as much as I search these forums and the internet I can't find anything similar

another duckling just died... He had the exact same symptoms of Stella except his heart stayed beating fast until the very last second when he kinda spazzed then died. I don't understand what I happening... That's three dead out of 5 hatched. The brooder is the right temperature and I even put...

Yeah it's hard to explain but they spend most of their night on their nest which is highly protected by my dogs, the dogs can't get to them but they are close enough nothing else will. Tomorrow I can make a temporary pen in my garage though for her. I'll put out the ACV mixture tonight though...

She passed away in my hands... ):

I can try some of that its just that I don't know how to make it her only drinking and washing water. It rained so hard that their pen got flooded so I'm letting them stay out of it because we have a large tree closer to the house that shields them from most of the rain, and it's still storming...

would this be the correct type of electrolytes to use? It says for warm days but i figure electrolytes are good no matter what right?

Well now little Stella is acting very lethargic ): she's still eating and drinking fine it seems but she keeps just randomly dozing off, even when standing. The other ducklings are full of energy but they are almost a full two days older. Am I just being paranoid because of What happened to...

If you have any insight at all please help! All of my babies seem to be getting hurt this week and Gracie is one of my favorites

Hi all, I didn't want to post yet as I was worried she wouldn't make it but the fifth baby has hatched and is doing good! I think she is a runner pekin mix with the mom being a pekin as the egg was the same size as the others but she is significantly smaller. She also has a bit of a runner look...

I'm having the same problem with my embden goose right now and came here hoping for help! Both of her eyes are foaming and her beak is weird like that too. we live on a lake and it rained a lot yesterday so maybe that's where it came from I don't know. I gave them fresh water in a very clean...

They have water full time now! I had to go to the store to get food and a waterer (they came 5 days early I wasn't prepared) so they didn't have food or water for a few hours during the day. But they all got a chance to drink that morning. He died as I was filling the waterer ):

my duckling died.... not the one in the egg but the very first one to hatch out. He was completely fine i was even holding him then i put him back in his brooder and came back 15 minutes later and he was dead. I don't know why? i had given them a bit of water this morning, dipped his beak. then...

His little beak is pushing through the egg now so i think its just a matter of hours until he hatches!!! a 5 out of 5 hatch rate would be amazing (knock on wood) since its my first time so I'm hoping he continues to be a trooper! will keep you updated

Yes she was i believe! Sorry i took so long to get back, i had work. but i moistened her eye with warm water and a q-tip then i opened it a bit and all looked good, but she kept it shut. I just got home though and both eyes are wide open and looking good! I think it was just a bit sticky! thanks...

please help!! sorry this is like my third thread since hatching but Ive noticed i get more help when i start a new one for each problem. also i searched the other threads first and couldn't find anything like this but if you know of one please feel free to link me

It hatched out last night along with 3 others and seemed to do fine, I'm not sure if it came out with its eye shut or not. To me it looks like the eye is there its just the lid won't open! Is there anything I can do to help it? Its possible it got pecked by one of the other ducklings but I don't...

Great news! The last egg has externally pipped! With all the other ones they pipped internally and externally then hatched all in the same 24 hours so I think I was just a little nervous of this one being slower. Though I broke lock down to get the other guys out last night so I don't know if...

I looked up a black swedish duck and we definitely have those on the lake too! I never knew what they were called! My little guy looks almost like a full bred black swedish duckling so I bet that's what he's mixed with! I have the Farm Innovators Still Air Incubator 2100, we saw it when we went...

I almost forgot to add a picture! Here is the first duckling who hatched out about 13 hours ago! We have runner, rouen, and pekin ducks as well as what i believe to be some silver apple yards and wild ducks sharing the lake! So its a complete mystery what this little guy will turn out to look...
