CALL DUCKS ARE HATCHING!!!

[Lacrystol]

I can't believe he's peeping back at me! I hope by the time he's out that he can recognize Mommy's voice. This has been going on all day, he's starting to tear through the membrane now. It's so exciting! <3

Well i can see one problem but let me read threw the rest of these posts.

Ok first the duck that's still in the shell, Did you say it's day 25? what are your settings at? temp and humidity and do you have a fan or no Fan?

 

[Lacrystol]

second once you start pealing away from the shell like that, You most definitly will have to assist. As far as the one that died, he probably ran out of air, doesn't matter if they are upside downers. In fact I LOVE UPSIDE DOWNERS. they are my favorite to help break out of jail.

the one in the video. I see a leg problem not a head issue. Do you have any vitamins in the house? Such as Vitamin b?

 

[Lacrystol]

Can you send me a clear picture of his vent? this will tell me why his not able to walk..

UPDATE: Egg #2 is gone. Chipped off the top of the shell and I found a large yolk and no head in sight. He was turned the wrong way. The third egg is moving through the air cell when I candle, I'm gonna leave it alone and see what happens.

BAD choice ....

Oh thank goodness Lacry, I was hoping you'd respond here!

First off, yes, forced air bator, 99.5 for incubation, 65 - 70% humidity for hatch. So far lil' Wobbles here is the only one to make it. I'll have to see if the third egg is still alive tomorrow, if no I'm going to take the plunge and try to dig him out. Right now though I'm focused on Wobbles. I'm so, so scared he won't make it through the night. He was stuck for a long time so I had to help. I got him held to my chest now, it's the only way to get him to stay still and rest!

I have vitamin B, but it's a pill form and it has B6 and B12. The shops are closed, if he survives the night I'm dashing off first thing to get some liquid infant vitamins without iron.

Are you saying I should intervene now on Egg #3?

 

[Lacrystol]

Nearing the end of day 25. And it wasn't just that the yolk wasn't absorbed, it was at the top right next to the air cell! The poor thing was totally turned the wrong way 'round. He never had a chance. :/ Hoping Egg #3 isn't a similar story.

Yes he did. He most definitly had a chance if the right measures were taken..

Yes he did. He most definitly had a chance if the right measures were taken..

Can you explain that when you get a chance?

 

[Amykins]

Yes he did. He most definitly had a chance if the right measures were taken..

I tried, Lacry...I saw him moving but when I tried to tear the membrane so he could get air it began to bleed quite a bit. I dried the wound and placed him back, beak end up, but an hour later, he was gone...
