Ducklings about the hatch, help!

[Socc04b]

Ok, thanks. I did put him in the less humid incubator, so I will leave him to rest.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Perfect! Had to check, many say to keep them moist but I've had better success with them drying off quicker...

 

[Socc04b]

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure whether dry or moist was better. I just chose that one because the other needed cleaning

 

[Ravynscroft]

Another good point!

I am worried about the position of her legs. It's hard to tell, but they look curled up behind her. I enlarged and lightened the pic and took one from behind. She has moved some, just mostly flopping around. I know they do this for awhile, her legs just don't seem quite right.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Her feet might be curled, but hard to tell until her belly goes down and her strength goes up... got any nutridrench? A drop or 2 of that would be a good boost... and might want to look up how to make booties for her...

 

[Socc04b]

I don't have nitro drench. Any homemade version. I can get some in the morning, but not sure that would be soon enough. I looked up booties and tagged you, Ravyn on the thread.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Any kind of sav a chik stuff would help too... but Nutridrench or PolyViSol w/out Iron is best...

 

[Ravynscroft]

Or maybe a little honey water?

Thank you for all the help and info. Sadly, Angel Baby passed away. I am snuggling Nemo now and we will bury her at the farm with her daddy. The other egg is talking a lot and rocking. Tomorrow with be 48 hours on her, so I may be doing another assist. Im a little reluctant, but baby hasn't made any progress
