Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[clousert]

And yes he's bibbed any guess at his breed???

He's adorable. Looks too big to be a call though. I'm not familiar with all the duck breeds/colors so you'll have to fill me in

Is that your mystery white out egg?

The one that is hatched is yup!!

And yes the sticky thick stuff put him on it he's already able to support himself better!

He's supposed to be either saxony, welsh harlequin, or silver appleyard. Same with the other two I am waiting to hatch. So it'll be a surprise ha.

All the rest that I have are Anconas.

HUM, if you try to hatch the one in 12 days it could cause the others to get sticky.  any why do you just have one?  you should know they don't like to be alone...

You could just raise it up to about 50 or 55 for lockdown on the one, you may have to help him out but of course, i'm hear for you for that, and the others will be OK..

Then ok to drop the humidity back down to 25-30% for the remainder of the incubation time for the other eggs until their lock down?

Good, he'll be walking correctly in no time, LOL.. I think you'll have to wait until he gets bigger to see what he ends up with kind of hard to say right now.

Looks like a baby duck LOL..

OH yes, definitely, they have to lose so much water hopefully the high humidity isn't to high for them to obtain so much water that they can't lose it but you have quite a bit of time so I think they will be OK.. Just got to experiment. lol.

Sqee #2 is out!!!

Yolk sac still attached assuming that is normal? He's moving great!

Is he completely out of the shell, and is the yolk sac orange again? If so it's not normal. Usually they absorb it before jumping ship. On occasion you have a slight string like thingy attached to the duck and all the way to the empty sac in the shell (shriveled gray). But yolk should be absorbed before his butt comes out.

Okay maybe that's what it was. It's already fallen off. The two are cuddled together I'll see if I can get the picture to post!
