The problem I'm having here is that "sticky" chicks can be caused by too much humidity; yet other signs indicate too little humidity.

According to the handy dandy troubleshooting chart:

It could have been too high or too low humdity. So, I'm afraid that I'm no help. I have had to assist many goslings and ducks. But, I tracked my problems to too much humidity.

I paid for pure embdens.

They're still cute even if they are mutts!

They are cute! It's just to bad it appears you didn't get what you paid for.

Anyone have pure embden eggs I can get to try again?

Cool! SInce the mother of the ones i have is an Embden, then I have a female.
There is another one pipping as we speak and it has been talking to me all day!

 

[MissPrissy]

Nope, moonwalker. If they are not pure bred the sexing trick doesn't work. I am back to not knowing what I have.

Two Embdens. The one nearest the camera is female, the one on the top is male. Note the pure orange beaks. The two ducks squeezed between them are Silver Appleyards.
