ive almost got some from amanda virgina and then my parents said no u cant drive for 10 hours.

then my breeder keeps tellling my to wait and im okay with waiting i just wish i knew more of what he is doing.

but before when my hatchery just started with my grandmother she had calls sadly we were a super small farm and had neighbours at the time so calls had to go and those that werent sold died of old age since they couldnt reproduce becuase of the neighbours ( this was before i was born)

since then we have bought off all of their land and have a nice 30 acrs for still a small hatchery but not worried about anybody around us.

I did a search, but most of the posts apply to adults, so I want opinions from you guys please. My last little duckling "Chibs" was the one that pipped just below the air sac, but was able to make it out on his own. He sat for quite a few hours with his beak sticking out the hole. The other duckling kept pecking at his beak. I was praying that it didn't bother it, but when I moved him to the brooder, I could see a "scuff" mark, that I assumed would heal or wouldn't cause any issue. Well today I saw him take a drink, and a pinpoint sized bead of water came up thru the top of his bill. So I guess where they pecked at the bill, they actually made a little hole. Since he's only a day old, will this seal up on its own as his beak hardens, or is it always going to be there? Can I "glue" it with anything? Or put some antibiotics on it or just leave it alone?
He appears to be eating and drinking fine. (and I say "he" although I don't know its sex yet. I just don't like "it" haha)
