Help! first time hatching!

[Lacrystol]

so right now she does have 3 in a cup
one she is waiting to fluff up so he'll join the group of 6,
That's a total of 10,
she lost 3 that brings it to 13 HUM
Not sure what's going on with the last four. Perhaps she'll give us an update soon

What the duck forum really needs is a beginners guide to incubating 28 day duck eggs that has suggested settings for still air and forced air incubators. Something like that exists for Muscovy's, but not for other ducks.

Let me re-word that, she did get there heads out and cleaned them up, so they just need some time to kick that shell off.

That's a LOT of babies. LOL, LOTS of Messes, Lots of FLUFF. I'm really happy for her, she's going a GREAT job with very little help. I guided her into the direction she needed to go to try and save them, and she just took off from there.

Very Little help from me once I walked her threw on how to assist. she did the REST.

GREAT JOB!!!

I will have her send me some but right now she went to get some feed and vitamins for the little guys running around..

Quote: One of those three were upside-down, were there more dead or alive that were/are upside-down? As for floating in water, not surprised, saw that when mine were incubated for 26 days at only 47% humidity.
