Duckling hatch along?

[AlleysChicks]

He's yellow...you have to name him Street!

but he won't stay yellow. I'm actually trying to figure out what he's going to look like! All 3 moms are pied. Dad is chocolate.

I don't care (said very nicely) he is yellow NOW!
That's all that matters.

lol but why street? Also from what I can see of the mal po baby it too is yellow! Gosh will I have white ducks? Maybe they will slowly get color.

@WVduckchick there is a great article on hatching malaproped or breach as I call it. I can't find it but I would not have my little Pekin runner without it. It walked me through hatching him. I have been looking for it since I say our post.

Well malpo is out. I went out to check and it wasn't moving. It was glued in. So I started picking and no blood. So I picked some more. His foot was over his head. Once that was free he literally rolled in the egg. I stuck him under the broody still half in the shell. She grabbed the shell and ate it then grabbed the baby by the foot and swung it around. Not sure if that's normal or not but I grabbed him and hes drying off in the house. Once he has his legs under him and good and dry I will try to reintroduce him to his mom.

Congrats, I think he's gonna be a barred chocolate (his tail feathers are chocolate, so that's the color he will be).
Barred chocolate duckling

Barred adult

What is up with these crazy mamas?!

 

[casportpony]

it's doing good! Took her outside for a supervised visit this morning. . the adults treat it like it has leprosy and run screaming their heads off. Poor baby. It wants to follow them but if it gets too close tiny strikes at it like an alligator.

Sure is cute!

I checked the Saxony eggs last night and I saw one blood ring and one possible clear, the other 9 look great! It’s only day 5.
Will candle the call duck eggs tonight.

9 out of 11 is good!
