    Duckling Breathing Weird?

    She seems to be breathing fast and sharp… is this normal and I just haven’t noticed it before? We’re in bed because she’s very imprinted on me and doesn’t like it when I leave her.

    Duckling slipped tendon?

    Is this a slipped tendon? And is it at both the hock and the foot? This duckling has had problems with this leg from the start, and either I couldn't see this before or it's somehow been injured since then. Some kind of developmental defect happened because that back toe is completely missing...

    Is this a pip?

    This recently appeared in one of my duck eggs, is this an internal pip?

    Internal Pip?

    Does anyone know if this is an internal pip? The duckling has been quite lively and moving his egg around the incubator and then we saw this, is it an internal pip or just where he’s been pushing against it? p.s the hole in the egg is so it doesn’t suffocate
