Awwwwwwww

I really want a boy and a girl

I'm not doing shipped eggs ever again I have had a three day stress migraine lol

I don't even have shipped duck eggs and I'm stressed so I can imagine your stress levels. What do you have for a water container in your brooder. I have a plastic 2 litre milk bottle with a hole cut in it and the little @#$%&* got in it. I made the hole smaller I'm hoping that it will ok. When will the stress end. I was worried that they were eating and not drinking enough.

At least if you get eggs from me you won't need to pay for them. But yes the stress will still be there. But for me it is anyway. It's the second guessing that gets to me its like I'm on a seesaw. Do I or not. lol

You could help by telling me how to make a thread so i can ask other people because the mobile version confuses me

 

[LuckysMum]

If you go to the "emergency/diseases/injuries and cures" its in the forums tab and post your question there someone will see it and hopefully help. Its worldwide so usually someone is there. Good luck

I have the bottom of a 1.25 L water bottle cut off and filled with river stones. Working great and no spillage. That will change when they get a bit bigger though then I will go to a container with a lid with the corner cut off big enough to get their head in.

I'm going to candle for internal pipping tomorrow and maybe assist a few. May as well try to save a couple more, I mean they are gonners anyway if they don't pip tomorrow.

They have the little red water dishes at Roberts for $3-$4 , I'm heading up to get a few more today. Ducks need higher levels of niacin than other poultry I'd be inclined to believe that if you have provided a non slip surface in the brooder , the parent stock may have nutrient deficiencies. Susan has 1l bottles of Anitone for about $20 . Easy to administer directly into beak or simply add to the water.
