First-Timer

Well, we’ve had a rough day. Mama went missing and Papa lost all his wing feathers early this morning. The other duck hatched an egg, but it seems to have something wrong with it. One eye isn’t opening and it’s belly looks strange and maybe swollen. Any idea what might be wrong?

Checked in on the one-eyed duckling this morning and everything seemed fine. Gave it nutri-drench and some sort of miracle must have happened - 2 open eyes and a normal belly!

Another egg hatched in the brooder, one hatched with Mama outside (but I brought it in to be with the other ducklings) and now two more with pips.
