Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[clousert]

AWEE A Halloween babie, LOL... Call him Jason. LOL Or Mike Myers, LOL

I'm hoping it's a she. Thinking maybe Elvira. Any other suggestions?

Okay the whole egg looks dry. I'm not really sure what's going on but I'm getting the impression he just can't get it off himself. He's still alive, but still attached.

I used a q-tip and soaked around where he's attached to add a little moisture. Then I set him back up to give him another try. He's really tired. Not even holding his head up =\

He's probably exhausted. Remember he wasn't even supposed to be out yet. He's a pooped little bugger.

He's not going to hold his head up for a while, try to send me a pic so I can see what he's looking like now,, Did those veins clear up??

Okay unrelated question. My friend in IL has pekin ducks. They are laying eggs but the ducks aren't going broody. Is this normal and is there anything she can do to help them go broody?

No you can't help them go broody, ducks are seasonal and when it's time it's time. However, I have noticed with my girls, they will act completely normal and lay eggs, they usually laid eggs in the same spot, once they collected enough eggs, BOOM they will decide to sit. Now first timers usually don't get this so they may not sit the first time around.. May take them to spring, but once they do lay, they find the darnest places.. LOL
