Hatching Call Ducks

[baasanders]

Who has experience with this? My drake is smaller than the hens, and I'm not sure he'd even be able to successfully mate. But then I read another thread on here about it being hard for them to hatch on their own, and assisting with the "safety break" and "air cell". What is all that?

Hi! Calls from show quality and breeder quality parents can be tricky to hatch, because of their short necks and beaks. Often, they need help to successfully hatch, though not always.

Here's a guide that can walk you through how to assist a hatch:
