[DwayneNLiz]

He's nice and loud and most of all strong and I didn't mess up, holy smokes I can't believe I have my 1st call duck! I just knew I would fail at this after everything I read, if it wasn't for Ravynfallen reminding me I could do this, I would have given up hope. I'm still just in aww over thid entire experience...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

awwwwww so beautiful @lucysducks11

hubby was right no more sleeping with Ducks and getting worn down, I think little Pandora knew that so she laid her head down to sleep and she's got Tinkerbell's giraffe, all is well..

rest up and try to take it easy, you have more little babies due anytime

Good morning my dear sweet wonderful friends
I HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND NEED ADVICE ASAP
I had a call duck egg develop a day or two after the ones in the Bator. Anyway, I candled it last night and something just didn't look right, the duckling was internally pipping but it just looked all wrong, I can't explain, but I just know at this point if something is wrong. I put the egg back and went to bed deciding maybe I was wrong. Candled the egg this morning and sure enough, it's pipping in the wrong end, and struggling , I don't know what to do? I'm going to shoot Ravyn a message but I'm afraid she's still asleep, so I'm getting a backup plan in order, I am not sure what to do about the breech baby

If you think it's struggling, and can tell about where the bill is, make a hole for the bill so it can breathe.

I've never tried this, but would if needed.

It would be a good idea to peel of just a little shell to make sure it can breathe, but then while it is soaking up the rest of the yolk/blood you can leave it alone. I don't have experience with ducks, but I know chicks can hatch successfully when they pip on the wrong end, though often they do need a little help.

Later, when it is ready to zip, keep a close eye on it and if it is struggling/not making sounds/etc. you might have to assist.

You're doing great! Hang in there!

I went on and opened up a safety hole for it, and of course my hand slipped and created a larger hole than I wanted
The duckling looks OK, but is not ready at all, this egg was the smallest one so I just knew I would have issues with it
It's back in the Bator so hopefully it will continue to thrive. Thanks for the fast response! I'm a nervous wreck and have Pandora going into absolute fits when I am not in her sights..Geez oh Pete's

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

The larger hole shouldn't really matter, don't worry about it. Pandora is adorable!

Pandora sends her love

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

Aaaah, she is so cute! Seriously, I'm going duck crazy over here!
