Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Amykins]

Oh this is sooo sad...... Was it in the right position.... IDK... It shouldn't be anything genetic. If it is I have a big problem!!! That is good about the tiny bill though. I guess there is a silver lining to every storm cloud.... How are the other babies?? Any improvement on number 3? Can you tell boy or girl on the gone one? Or is that creepy?

Yes, it was in the right position. As I mentioned there was no crust or foam around the mouth or nares so I really don't think it drowned, but it was just so peculiar. It almost looked like a tiny pelican, the way its lower jaw membrane was distended. But again, I have no idea if that's just strange phenomenon resulting from decomposition. It was in there all night so it could have already been dead for hours when I checked on it this morning. Poor lil' guy...

Still no change in the quiet egg, but egg #2 is going crazy trying to crack that egg!

Maybe we will get a new duckie soon! Could he have died of no oxygen in the egg? Maybe he detached his lower jaw when trying to break out? I don't know why that would kill him though.... Post a pic of our little busting our buddy! Oooh this is eggciting! (Pun intended)

Sorry to hear your duckie died. :-( I have had ones that have been like that and died in the past too and I don't know why..

I'm going out of my mind over this remaining duckling... It's still wiggling and pecking, but the hole isn't getting any bigger. How's this for cute, though: every time it peeps, Wobbles goes into Telescope Mode, standing on his tippy toes with his head straight up, lol!

Ahh! Sounds like wobbles wants to be a brother/dad? Any improvement on duckie number 3? The duckies beak may not be big enough to break out of his shell....
