HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

Be sure to let us know when you get your ducklings we love baby pictures.

Definitely. I will be asking if it looks okay and not sick.

Looks like you'll have to see the photos of dead ones before seeing the alive ones...

I opened the two remaining eggs. One had a dead incomplete embryo with complete head and thorax but no foot and only leg, and belly has some parts outside. All three turned out to be dead.

The other one I didn't take photo.
It was fully dissolved and only liquid with some body parts.

so sorry.

 

[Hamudazahabi]

so sorry.

Thank you very much. I guess it's much easier to just get a ready chick and duckling rather than buying and incubating more eggs. I don't want this to happen again...

It is heartbreaking. If you can find ducklings it is better becasue shipped eggs go through a lot when traveling. One nice thing is if you get Muscovy you won 't have to worry about using an incubator to hatch Muscovy love to brood and hatch and are excellent mamas.

I've heard about that.
But I heard that musvovy doesn't lay as many eggs like Khaki Campbells which lays around 200-300 eggs per year, around one egg every day. But its alright if I get multiple ones. I was hoping to get two types though... I originally wanted both muscovy and Khaki Campbells, so I incubated eggs of both. All the muscovy eggs were infertile, and the khaki Campbell all died, so now I think I will only have muscovy if I buy. Anyways it is good that they will take care of the eggs so I don't have to worry.

By the way...
At what age can I know their sex?

I contacted a store and asked what breeds he has, he answered weirdly:
"Muscovy, egg duck, meat duck."

I don't know what he means by egg duck and meat duck...
Maybe its a specific breed that they refer to with this name in Malaysia...?

Many people raise Muscovy to eat. Pekins are also considered a meat duck do you have Pekins in your country?Muscovy do lay but they are a broody duck so they haven’t had the broodiness bred out of them like other domestic ducks that are big layers. Usually around 4 weeks and up you can start seeing drake from female. I do see some Muscovy in the picture white with black cap on the head and the others could be Saxony? Or mixed breeds nice looking ducks.
