CALL DUCKS ARE HATCHING!!!

[Lacrystol]

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 talking about Polyvisol? NO, don't get that get Poultry drench, works MUCH MUCH better on ducks.. polyvisol works GREAT for chickens.

OK your settings are good. But Lets work on egg 3 before it's to late.

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

NO what I would like for you to do is to make him a safe Hole, you see they only have enough air to last the Maximum of 24 hours. so your other died because he ran out of air. Now we can't wait on this guy, Please make him a safe hole NOW..

Is this Vitamin B Complete?

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...

AHHHHH you hit his main vein. it happens. dang it.

there wasn't a need to peal off the membrane, NO need until it was absolutely safe...

[Lacrystol]

talk to me sister?? do you know how to make a safe Hole????

 

[Lacrystol]

Call ducks are the hardest to hatch because they have small beaks and short necks, so therefore it makes it difficult for them to escape. Most of the time you have to assist. Sometimes they can do it all on there own but seeing how calls are the only thing I hatch I am extremely familar with there handicapped ways...
