Okay, So I have 2 out of 15 baby ducks hatched, a few more pipping. The two that hatched yesterday are in a tote for now, with water, and a heat lamp ( not to close to it cause it gets real warm) But, they have been out of their eggs for about 24 hours, and they both only have 1 eye open? What can I do to help this?
 
They might just have a bit of albumen stuck on their eyelids.
Try using a warm damp cloth and wipe their eyes.
They should be fine.
Congrats on your new babies, would love to see some pics.

All dry and cute, he is a trout indian runner,
I have two more eggs ( that I can see) Pipped right now.. One is another runner, and I am hoping the other is a welsh harlequin. They are marked in pencil on the egg what they are.. I just cant see the mark!

I will post more pictures later

Okay baby chickens are cute, but there is just something so adorable about baby geese and ducklings.
Very nice looking baby. Love the one eye pirate thing going on.
