Hi, first timer hatching runner ducks from a friends duck.
Started with 8 and have 3 made it to lockdown.
Day 28 we had 2 pip, one of these was fully hatch 24 hrs later.
The other still had minimal breakage.
Now the new duckling is pecking at the egg and I can see jelly/ blood.
Any advice please

How’s your duckling doing?

I was trying to answer just when BYC went out of service 😬.
 
Ducky has now fully hatched, it did seem like some of the yolk hadn’t all been absorbed and that it seems a little weak ( struggling to loft ots
Neck)
The older one is very feisty and it all over the weaker one .

How long ago did it hatch?

Can you put a see through divider there so the older one can’t run on the little one but they can still see each other?
