Ducklings

Still not up and about. He’s kind of laying on one side or the other and pushing himself round on the floor.

Can you put a video up? Is he lifting his head?

 

[Kayleewoo]

Not too sure how to do that. He is lifting his head but only for short periods @Miss Lydia. One of his feet seem to work faster than the other?

If you want to do a video you load it on you tube or Vimeo then copy and paste here.

How long did it take this one to hatch and was it from wrong end? Did it hatch on its own?

Let’s get @casportpony @Pyxis here. If you put the duckling in normal position can it stay that way? Maybe offer a few tiny drops of Nutri drench you can hold its head and dribble along the bill.

 

[Kayleewoo]

That foot does move- it just seems a tad weaker.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yolk still out? Hard to tell but looked like belly was still poking out? It has some fight in it. That would be a good time to give a tiny bit of Nutri drench.

He does look like he has some good fight in him! I don't have runners, but one of my duckies hatched with a funky looking leg. At least it looked weak or something at first. He didn't move a whole lot initially either. By the time he got to about the ~48 hr mark he was the jumpiest little weirdo ever. I named him Tigger. I can still tell him apart from the others at 5+ wks because he jumps like no duck I've ever seen.

I’m in the UK- do you know if there’s an equivalent or what is in it?

His tummy is still sticking out a bit. He has been licking drops of water off the bottom of the incubator. He’s quite lively and shouty. He’s pushed all the other eggs around the incubator. Constantly.
