Duck eggs soon to hatch?

[jaykayhuff]

Thank you. I think today was just an overall rough day for hatching. Thank you

If it makes you feel any better, I attempted to hatch 34 eggs last year... three different rounds of incubating, and only ended up with 5. So you are doing great! haha I ended up getting a different incubator for the last hatch and was way more successful with that.

You're welcome. Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Just know that they have lived much longer than they would have if you hadn't found them. You have them a shot at life. If they don't make it it wasn't meant to be.

Thank you. your kind words made me feel a lot better. Today is a new day. I will say, the egg that was bleeding I can see is still breathing so that’s a plus. Nutridrench will be here tomorrow for little bent neck.

Aw really? Was it the incubator? Thanks for sharing. You all really have been so kind and I appreciate all of you

I'd also add liquid B complex to your list of haves. It's excellent for assisted and newly hatched with out assistance. Also when they begin eating try some scrambled egg along with their starter. It sure gave a boost to my little Runners that were suffering shipping stress. I lost 2 before I tried the scrambled egg. They will need chick grit too.
How are they all doing this morning?

My concern for offering water is aspiration.

Just for some hope, here is the worst assist ever. This egg was dropped on accident. This baby made it just fine.View attachment 2037402View attachment 2037403View attachment 2037402View attachment 2037403View attachment 2037405

I wouldn’t have even though if scrambled eggs. What a great idea! Thank you. I’m guessing liquid b complex is in addition to the nutridrench? Also an update we had a nice hatch happen just a moment ago. What a great thing to wake up to this morning. The egg that was bleeding is moving around a lot this morning.

Awesome news!! How many have hatched and how many still working.
Just know before adding anything to their diet besides their starter they need the chick grit. I just put it into a small custard bowl and they ate it as needed.
Offer only warm water, do you have a chick waterer for them? something they can't climb into?

What is the difference between the two? I went a local feed store and have been giving the older ones what they provided me. Mixing it with water for mushier texture. There are 3 eggs left total. 1 I’m sure is already dead for a few days, the other I haven’t checked for movement today but it was the one who didn’t pip externally and finally just the one that started to bleed. I’m guessing let the one who started to bleed work itself out?
