➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Kiki]

I’m inside right now but frequently checking in on them. I’m feeling the effects of not sleeping and having a crazy morning lol.

I’d upload a chick video but my internet is absolute garbage.

You need a baby camera monitor thing. Anyone recently have a baby?

Lol my sister probably has one. I don’t mind going out, I just can’t stay out for hours.

She’s quite pitiful.

She needs water. If you get a spoon and put water on it...hold it to her beak. See if she drinks it.

I wonder if I should add a review under the other poultry section for the breed Balut.

This is a MUST

 

[Glitterchicks]

They better!

They are going with an instruction manual.


(They have ducks already)

And they need to send weekly updates!!!

I’m gently giving her water right now with a spoon. She’s spending an abnormal amount of time trying to swallow, keeping her head tilted back like it won’t go down.

When I gently tilted her beak down some brown goop came out, I’m assuming nutri drench and water from her crop. I really haven’t given her that much water, she should have digested what she had to drink earlier by now.

She’s started to sway and stumble. I don’t know whether to bring her inside or what, she gets jostled a little by the others but not too bad. Our house is cold, pretty sure that would be worse.
Hubby is worried now.

Do you have a heat pad that you can use?

Tell them they must make a BYC account and start a thread to document the hatch.
It's a requirement.

I can try but I have no idea if they will.
