Well I now have 6 ducks, the last 2 were like shrink wrapped I think but they are doing good.. Yes #3 is doing great, I have the food and water in there and they are all but the last 1 eating and drinking.. They are great.. I will get a pic of them all tomorrow.. I am so tired tonight and have 6 hours of driving tomorrow so want to get some rest..I candeled the remaining eggs and 1 is still externally piped but no progress and 1 is internally piped and the rest are close..

Good morning... I still have 6 babies, went and checked this morning, 1 is starting to zip and 1 started to pipe... I have to be away for 6 hours today so I pray all will be fine while I am gone and that if those are born while gone that Momma will be good since she is down to 9 eggs left..

Wow that is great news!! are you planning on keeping the babies? Have a great day and try not to worry [too much] 15 eggs total, I'd say that was a tad too many for a first time mama, good you have been there too help out. Let us know as quick as you can how they all are doing and if you have any new ones.

Wow - that's wonderful!!

Your chicken must be dong a good job of still sitting, even though there have been so many disturbances.

I hope you have the chance to get plenty of sleep once the hatch is over.

well #8 is working on it now, his bill looked stuck so I started helping and saw blood so I stopped.. Have it sitting under a warm towel..

 

[Miss Lydia]

You might ought to put some warm water into a spray bottle and keep the membrane damp so as not to shrink. and keep wrapped in the warm towel too.
That is great thatr #8 is about to hatch..

what does your Dh think of it all?
