With the help of this article, I saved one of the ducklings in my incubator. However it was partially shrinkwrapped & part of the shrinkwapping is stuck to the back of the chick. Currently, he's out of the shell, but should I try to get that sticky stuff off him?

I've been taking the eggs & leaving a ceramic one in the...
I know this is a chicken site, but ducks & chicken are all poultry! Something ate my Saxony ducks, & I'd really love to get some more. Does anyone know where I might be able to find some in Central New York?
I had Saxonies until last week when the last one was killed We had the last duckling w/the Rouan mom in what we thought was a closed area, but there was a small hole that something got thru & killed the duckling, although the mama seems fine. Building a stronger pen!
But I'd like to get more...
