Ended Cutest Baby Fowl Photo Contest—Win a Brinsea Maxi 24 EX Connect—16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[wolfinator]

These babies were part of our schools second grade chicken project that hatched April 6. So the next day, principal saw me in the carline and said the teacher had one chick they needed to “put out of its misery”. That “It wasn’t going to make it.” So I said, “Let me see her?” And she brought me a half-peeled, shrink-wrapped egg! So I brought her home quick, saw that she still had a lot of veins to still to recede, and put her in my incubator. The next day, I used coconut oil and tweezers to get her out because she shrink-wrapped and upside down. She came out with splay leg, and after two days standing in a large shot glass, she turned out perfect! So I told the teacher I needed one more chick because this little one needed a friend. Boy was that a mistake because at almost a month old, I can tell he is a rooster lol The shrink-wrapped baby who I saved is on the right in this picture. She is a cutie! We named her Trixie, and the boy we named Dippin Dot. I think teachers need to be more educated about experiencing problems with hatching eggs, because they happen!

Thank you for saving the baby. I have a Mallard duck named Trixie, she and another duckling were injured at a feed/supply store by bigger ducklings so I asked about buying them at 1/2 price. The one died from complications of a leg injury the next day, the other, Trixie is now a 12 time momma of some beautiful adult babies, has Angel wing due to being trampled. She got her name from her attachment to roosters instead of drakes, but she was raised with chickens for 8 months. My other ducks ran her off constantly and the chickens accepted her. She thinks she's part chicken and still courts the roosters at 4 years old.

He looks up to something.

These 2 babies are almost a month old. I got them at Rural King on 4/9 and was told they were about 4 days old, so I gave them an April 5th birthday. The Crested Runner is definitely a female, but I'm not 100% sure on the other. I'm leaning towards being a drake due to a little rapsiness in the vocals.

Being what I've learned about Crested ducks, she'll probably be placed in my bantam/special needs pen, my older drakes can be quite rough when mating. She's already had a few episodes when I first got her of not uprighting herself from her back.

Going home 4/9

15 days later, next brooder, they outgrew 2 totes in 2 weeks. I moved them to the coop nursery since the threat of below freezing temperatures wasn't forecasted. I only use a 100w incandescent bulb and it stays between 75-90°F, covering 3/4 of tank on chilly nights.(They have a duck feeder now, but same water container.)

This was their second time enjoying the pool, forgot phone 1st time the day before. The pool is 40" round by 12" deep. They were a little apprehensive, but after a few moments they were zipping around like pros. They get about 20-30 minutes pool time

We miss having them inside.

I realized 2 days later that my ducks or chickens had moved a metal container I had covering a hole (honestly forgot to repair) I had discovered going under the 10x16 main coop. I found it moved several more times, but still I didn't think anything of it until a female duck was frantically trying to get through the hole which I had fixed hours earlier. It dawned on me why there was a sudden reduction in duck eggs and opened the hole back up. Sure enough she had a next of unknown quantity of eggs and not just hers. I found up to 4 of my ducks were taking turns and sharing sitting duties watching them over the next several days. They're about 8-10 in from the opening, but against the back skirting. I removed a couple panels and discovered 16-20 eggs, I took a photo and counted from it so not to disturb anything. From my estimate, I should have ducklings hatching later this week in time for Easter. The hard part will be catching them so I can try to rehome all of them, I have 24 adults and 2 babies. I was getting ready to rehome 10 of my adult drakes, keeping only 4. I lost 3 females over the last 6 months to medical issues and unusual circumstances. I'm keeping my original duck, an 8 yr old khaki Campbell, his son, my 1st Runner and my 1st Mallard/Runner drakes.

Love you ducklings little hat. I might candle those eggs to make sure they are developing and not rotting. That would be quite the mess under the coop.
