Ducklings eye has cleared up nicely with some warm water! Think it was just gunk, no evidence of infection or any eye problems :) very bright little sausages now! Their wings were stuck to their sides with the hard gunk so ended up having to give them a warm bath and a gentle rub with a cotton...

2 of my ducklings were struggling to hatch 36 hours after external pipping so I had a quick inspection. Both were stuck and unable to move as their legs were wrapped across their necks. I carefully helped both out of their shells making sure not to rip any blood vessels left (there were...
