Just to update, he has made it, he was literally starving and trapped in the sticky membrane. It took 2 days of laying in the incubator and only today joined his siblings. I will update with a pic later

I've sponged it down and managed to get some of the crispy hairs a little softer. I swear it is so weak yet still fighting. Still can't stand up, but wriggles if I lay it on its back. I dipped its beak into some water but it just shakes it a little so I guess it is ok. All of the other ducklings...

My duck was 28 days last Friday. Yesterday I saw that it had been internally pipped for 2 days and not doing more.I opened the air sac end and saw the beak. Waited more time. Eventually I had to pick away at the egg. Then I left it overnight to finish the job. This morning it was still hanging...

Well that's so nice of your Dad. I also decided to move forward and I have new duck eggs in the setter now! I didn't have much choice as I was given some by somebody from the Philippines.

I'm sorry. It took us 3 days to bury Drake. He laid in a bag in the freezer. We just kept looking at him.

Congratulations! So pleased for you, all of your hard work has paid off!

Oh hurry up and post photos. Keep posting. I'm excited.

Wishing you all the best with your Morrisons baby. My M&S duck was born a day or 2 early and died, we are heartbroken, he was perfect and super cute. Not wanting to steal your thread, you can read about mine on my thread. Looking forward to your news.

Yes, he died. I am heartbroken.

My duck egg is on day 27, something happened in the incubator and the egg shell has shattered. It is at the wrong end, not air sac end. The sac around the duckling is sealed. I moistened it with Luke warm water to avoid shrink wrap. I don't know what to do. No movement from baby. Help

I'm on day 27. After a silent no movement day yesterday I think I saw the top of the beak trying to tap into the air sac this morning.fingers crossed.

Ok I saw the beak trying to tap into the air sac this morning. Now waiting.

Yes I stopped turning yesterday on day 25. Today I see no movement, just some tiny fluid movements. Can't tell for sure.

Hi can you please tell me what happened to your ducks? Did they arrive safely? Mine is on day26 and stopped moving. I have tried to look closely without too much disturbance, but nothing, not a murmur. :(

Sorry to hear that.

This is fascinating. How is no.3?

We are on day 21 now.

Yes I understand. I am afraid that i might have over candled mine. oh dear.. Ok off to update my photos.
