Oh my goodness. I think my mom might be sleeping. She took her dog to doggy day care today because her dog doesn't let her sleep during the day. She jumps on my mom and tries to play the minute my mom gets in bed during the day.

the second one was dead in the shell, not much we can do there, he had a LOT of gooy stuff, my guess is he suffocated.  Once we made a hole in his membrane, he said gooy stuff just poured out.  It's clear that he has a humidity issue, he told me that his bator is in the basement so that could be the problem. 

The last one is working on it.  I think he appreciated the fact that we made him a safe hole AND a tiny hole in his membrane because shortly after that, BOOM, his head came out.  When he told me, I was like TELL ME YOU DIDN"T PULL IT OUT.  AHHHH, he said he didn't the little guy did it all on his own which is GREAT he's mostly almost fully absorbed..

Right now we have to keep taken warm water and a qtip and clean around his nostrils, beak, neck, rub his back for stimulation and keep his membrane wet.  Need to do this every two hours but I don't think he will be available to do this.  SOO the only option is to have someone go in there an spray him every three to four hours, we can't have that membrane drying up it will get hard as a rock and confine the little guy..

I think once we keep clean him and he is able to sneeze some of that gooy stuff out, because I'm sure he took some in and that's why his breathing isn't the best right now, but to get it out is to keep those nostrils clear.  Spraying would be great because he can inhale some moisture and loosen that crap up and sneeze it out.  but I'm a little afraid of his availability today.  He texted me this morning saying he has to work from 8 to 4 and that baby is going to need AT LEAST one spray down..

My word, there's a lot that goes on here. I didn't know hatching a ducklet was so complicated. I am glad you are around to offer your help and wisdom Lacrystol. I live clear over here in Oregon and don't have a duck but still care about the birds and enjoy all you folks immensely.
