Duck eggs, 28 days, I'd have had to set today to hatch on Halloween. May set in a few days and follow along though.

The chicks are to warm....and sticky poop

Too warm, and I've noted that there's also a specific body type that seems to make them prone to it.

Help please! I’m having a lot of difficulty with my seramas. One was shrink wrapped and had a curled foot that I’ve bandaged to keep straight. However baby is falling all over.
Second problem almost all of my eggs are malpositioned. When should I help them? Some are opening at the wrong end etc.

I never called it that before. Have had it several times. Now that I have seen the photo, I really don't see using the word even. lol. Is it caused by dehydration and our poor digestion???
