Don’t we all. I have 2 runner duckling 3 weeks old today waiting to see what they are. I have 2 drakes already so I am hoping for two females too.

Usually, a honk means female.

@WVduckchick maybe can help.

Sometimes at 3 weeks, you can pick out a sound similar to a honk when voices are changing but by 4-5 weeks it should be even more obvious. I think we need some up-to-date pictures of these little ones.

@WVduckchick has a chart with call colors hopefully she can share that with you.

Your going to have to put up some pictures we want to see the little cuties.

They are adorable. I can’t see what you’re talking about but I wonder since these are Calls if pika is just going to be tinier that the others. But I will say if me I’d start her on liquid b complex just because some need more niacin. It can be given to all but I’d def get Pika on it you can put...

Pictures would help. Are you also using any form of niacin? Sorry I can’t remember.

I wouldn't keep up with the sugar water even hatcheries say when ducklings get to your home only offer sugar water when they first arrive. just stick with save a chick and feed.

How is her appetite? are you giving them any supplements like poultry cell or nutri drench? and of course some type of niacin.

Wonderful news!! thanks for updating.

That’s great sounds like she just needed more time. I do rec you have Nutri drench or poultry cell in hand it is so good to help when one has a difficult hatch just to get them going. Thanks for updating and please keep us up to date on how they are with no pics of course.

How is Pika this morning?

Is she the last to hatch? and it was just this morning? she may just need some catch up time. def a very good idea to keep watch on her vent to make sure she doesn't get pasty butt.

They are so adorable and great pictures too. When Pika is ready to eat make her a scrambled egg chopped it up very tiny and see if you can get her to eat some. The others will most likely eat what she doesn't. When I lost 2 of my Runner ducklings from shipping stress I started the 2 left on...

I’ve been looking all over the internet for sugar to water ratio and can’t find anything. I’m going to tag @WVduckchick since she has Calls. @shawluvsbirds have either of you had a weak duckling after hatch? can you help with letting @quackquack know what you did.

You might want to give her a little space inside the brooder a plastic shoe bin would work just so she can drink the sugar water when she wants.

If you can give her a little sugar water. Maybe an 1/8 of a teaspoon in a cup. I’ve never used sugar but I’ve seen many on here rec. I use Nutri drench or poultry cell. Use warmish water for all of them sometimes cold can Send them into shock

Do you have any nutri drench or poultry cell? You could give her a couple drops. if she hatched this morning she isn't going to be hungry or thirsty since she is getting what she needs through the yolk she absorbed. I'd wait till later today though hatching is hard work for sure.

To me and of course not being there doesn't help but the duckling doesn't look like the head is overly small. Lets see how the pics are this afternoon. Since they are Calls everything about them is tiny anyway. @WVduckchick
