Hatching Call ducks thread

[chickens really]

I won't be touching them again, they were shrink wrapped.. I stopped as soon as I saw blood

Not shrink wrapped...Not ready to be touched...

I strongly suggest that you remove the thing that's attached to the other duckling. I suggest this because there have been cases where they get it stuck on something which then pulls out their yolk. Opening the incubator to do this is perfectly acceptable and will not harm the remaining eggs.

Shrink wrapped is when all blood vessels are dry and the egg does not bleed but the Bird is incased in the egg...That's shrink wrapped...

Thanks, sorry the situation is getting a bit confusing. The duckling with the "yolk" is in a seperate bator to the other too - It was slightly attached by a thread. its removed now. Think I over reacted with that one. Thanks for your help with that one though

OK, I get your explanation... however the membrane on the first one I saw hatch, he seemed to slice through. The ones I helped had shell missing but membrane intacted... It was tough to break, even with sharp tweezers. There is no chance their beaks would have got through that..

Your others look really close, so if I were in your shoes I would do my best to keep the humidity up and wait.

Looked through the incubator, one has what looks like a wing half sticking out the hole beak still visible though and breathing, the other ones beak isn't visible anymore and can't see any movement

Relax. What's done is done, and the only way we learn how and when to assist is by doing it. The amount of blood I saw looks minimal, so I think you'll be okay. .

Up the humidity and I think your worrying too much...Over assisted Ducklings don't survive...
