    hatching wood duck eggs

    He's out of the shell and the yolk has been absorbed but he is very weak and wants to lay on his side. I still have him in the incubator but lowered the temp to 96.8 right now. He chirps a little when I do and won't open his eyes much. I think his body looks a little bloated. The other 2 are...

    hatching wood duck eggs

    The little guy is still struggling to survive. The yolk sac isn't fully absorbed. I've been giving him drops of water, trying to keep him hydrated. Very weak though. The yolk sac doesn't seem to have changed throughout the day. Any thoughts or advice?

    hatching wood duck eggs

    I'm new to the site and need help quickly on incubating duck eggs. I incubated 3 abandoned wood duck eggs. 2 have hatched, 1 each of the last 2 days. The last egg has movement inside but no pipping. The air pocket inside has grown to half the size of the egg. I feel that the duckling is running...
