    Does he stand a chance?

    I think part of the issue was that another duck started the nest, she went half assed broody, so I think a lot of them died from that.... she basically never left her nest and was friendly and now hisses and tries to bite when I take her babies away

    Does he stand a chance?

    That's true, I'm pretty sure the other 7 haven't noticed he is there yet hahahaa They free range my 1/3 acre and only go in for bed and hatched after they were let out

    I'm not really worried about them, they are peeping so I'm sure we are good!

    Does he stand a chance?

    LOL Our 8 adults were brooded in the home, so I could probably handle 4! But I'd rather not! I am nervous that the babies won't be able to get in and out of the coop though. My ducks just jump out the side rather then use the ramp lol

    Just moving them around like she did the entire time, I just know incubators have to be locked in and that changing position can make the hatch difficult and every time I check the pip holes are pointed down into the bedding. I hope she will do good as a mom onve they hatch.

    That's what I thought happened with little guy that died. One was peeping in its shell that night, and then the next morning she had jacked up his shell like that. She keeps flipping over the babies trying to zip. How long should I let them go? The first one has been 24 hours since his external pip

    Does he stand a chance?

    I really am!!! She's only 9 months old so I figured learning curve. But I know wild ducks do it just fine haha. Part of the drama was because my Cayuga abandoned the nest and then my runner took it over. I'm sure that's what caused some of the deaths. Now my Cayuga is trying to go broody again...

    Thanks all. It was so sad :'( I know it was what nature must have intended but my mama duck has been awful.... she started her nest with 15 eggs, 2 ended up unfertilized. And she's crushed quite a few, this is the only one I thought to be able to be saved. She only has 4 left in her nest now, a...

    Little one was peeping loudly when I went to bed last night, we chatted every hour or so. But when I woke this morning he had died one of the ones under mom externally pipped today so, 3 others have internally pipped. Sad to see someone who was so so close pass away

    No fan, what should the humidity be at and how do I effect that? Put water in the base and it's at 51%

    Does he stand a chance?

    The outer membrane is still around most but the bill hole which is the inner membrane, should I remove the outer membrane on top so I can keep Vaseline on the inner membrane? Also what temp should the incubator be? I borrowed a little giant but I've never used one before
