My little walking fuzzlets! All safe and sound! Baby 5 will be in the next photos, he or she was just put into our brooder! I'm so happy! All 5 of my babies are out and I only had to help 2! They are so sweet and beautiful!

In love with your walking fuzzlets, AmandaVirginia. Congratulations on the health and vitality of your newborns.

Any improvement?

The one that pipped last night isn't moving...I'm majorly freaking out! I have an external pip on the second, and nothing yet in the third. What should I do? Should I try to peel off some of the shell and see if it's still alive?

Edit: Nevermind...I examined it a bit more and it felt cooler than the others...I peeled back the shell and he's gone. I don't know why...just pipped and then gave up...

Argh! Sticky eggs!!! Died in lockdown I am not putting any water in now. Maybe the others will dry out. They are not due for another 2 weeks. One sticker due Wed. I am afraid to even mess with it. I will try draining some of the junk out of it tomorrow.

Beautifull ducklings you are getting! Congrats!!!

I am sad to hear that and sorry too.

Oh no!! This makes me sad too and teary. I am sorry and hope the ones coming in a couple weeks make it OK.

Has he absorbed the yolk.... You can try CPR?

I'm afraid not, he's cold and gone. He must have passed during the night. :/ His yolk was absorbed but his veins weren't. I remember seeing them when I candled last night and he was peeping and wiggling away. I just don't understand what happened. Like I said last night he had pipped early, I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

The one with the external pip is peeping and wiggling, and still nothing on the third and final egg. I may wind up with just one baby, after all...
