Hands on hatching and help

I type to slow on phone...

Aha! Nice! Yes, mines legs were pretty short, but long by breed standard.

Both of mine were very short. I was given two eggs when I purchased from a local gal and both hatched, both girls. One of them is the one that came up missing at the same time Ruby's did and she never came back.

Just went and checked again. The ling externally pipped below the air cell. Could not keep my hands off. Opened the air cell area. Duckling did not even have a pip into air cell. I opened a small hole at its bill. Covered the inner membrane with vasealin and put it back in bator. It's now breathing normally. But time will tell. It may not be strong enough or have a deformity of some kind. Will keep you posted.

You can see where it pipped - right at tip of bill
Thanks. Linda.

I was just gonna ask if you could see a 'bruise' spot anywhere on the egg... good catch and good luck...

Thank you Ravyn. It all depends on how strong it is. It now has air. We will see

Awww that's sad. I'm sorry. I'm sure you have pics?
Here was my pretty girl. I hope those people still have her.

Exactly true... just go slow, let it takes its time... got any nutridrench vitamins? That'll help give it a boost once it gets out...

Yes. I have nutradrench. The other ducklings love it.
Thanks. Linda

Thanks. Linda
