Ok. This one hatched last night it has this hanging out. Is it absorbing that?

Wow you had a really rough hatch! I would wrap it in a wet warm paper towel and put it in a cup or bowl and back in the bator. Check it in a bit to see if it absorbed the rest.

It's not going to stay wrapped in a paper towel or in a cup unless its high enough to keep it in. It's very active.


But I did it. I put it in a styrofoam cup.

Oh bless this is just awfull. I think your well coping. You bator looks awful. What a hatch. I hope your ok. You poor thing. That chick looks so sad and poorly. Hope he/she gets right and recovers from this Traumatic event. Good luck to you and your beautiful babies. I have my fingers crossed. Hugs

Just keep checking. active is very good sign. If it doesn't change any might need to tie it off. I am not an expert assistor the way Sally and Sumi and Cochins are so hopefully someone pops on here and tells us their opinions. Beautiful Buff by the way. I am kinda partial to orps and the golden babies are some of my favorites. They kinda sparkle like gold right after they hatch.

for your chick!

When did I get a Golden Feather? Sally did you have something to do with that? I just noticed it.

It's going to be here alone until after noon. We are heading to church. As for the buffs. I have a local that sells the eggs for 2.50 per dozen. I like them too. I'll probably do another batch after this one.

I have 14 healthy little babies in the brooder in the garage plus this one. Hope to add it to the brooder today and clean out that nasty bator. I've learned a lot with this hatch.

so I saw a post about pimple faced ducks...what kind are those?

wart faced more than pimples - muscovy

one of our muscovy broodies hatched 20 of 21 eggs. not bad for a first timer!!


the other has 15 eggs.

I don't know, I couldn't find anything at all that she could have said that was offensive , but

just as long as mama mod sumi knows it was not me.
