Don’t see a thing there...

That's great news, and now she's pooping color. so that means her intestines are working. Do try to get some fluids into her. I had a really weak one the other day and I gave it Gatorade two days before it perked up.

Yes I will continue to nutri drench all night and I keep dipping her bill the electrolyte water. She did just get up herself and get a drink! But then fell back to sleep

Hello. I would cut out all the additives your giving and only give feed and water. Brooder should have a warm end and a cool end so Ducklings can escape the heat. I never go by a set temperature. I watch how my Ducklings are doing instead.

@Chickmamma29 how is your little one doing this morning.

@Chickmamma29 how is your little one doing this morning.

So sad to report she died over night. It was obvious she wasn’t going to make it. All she did was sleep as the others played and ate. She was soooo tiny, I really think she hatched too early
I want to thank you a all for your help. You can feel so alone, even tho it has happened before and I knew I was doing all the right things. Thanks so much! Duck hugs!!

So sorry! She did have a lot stacked against her. I hope you contact the hatchery and let them know to. Enjoy your little ones

Sure did! Let them know all of my thoughts. They have a live 48 hr guarantee.

Good you let them know. It’s sad when we lose the little ones. Or any but those tiny ones oh gosh. You did all you could for her. Do you mind sharing which hatchery?

Purely Poultry. Have never had a problem with them until now.

PS. How many days do you wait until you put your babies on pine shavings? I have them on rubber shelf liner right now, and forget how long you are suppose to wait.
