Help!! My ducks dieing!! :( Update... It's dead or very close to it

[LindseyM12]

Well I have a egg in the bator and it was due on the 13 and it didn't hatch so I candled it and it wasn't moving so I opened it up from the top and broke a little place in the air cell and its alive!!

What do I do?!?! Its bleeding and I think it might be dieing!

HELP!!

Ok, I dont think this is normal! The egg yolk is near the the top and I think the bill is too!! HELP!!

I would put the egg back in the bator. The duckling needs to absorb the yoke. I am sure someone will get on and tell you what you need to do. Good Luck

 

[LindseyM12]

But how can it absorb if its in the wrong place??

They are all balled up in their egg...the yolk is attached under it's bum, but if he's folded in half then his bum could be by his head! Keep the egg in the bator and try to keep the humidity up so he wont get shrink wrapped...there is still hope...

UPDATE! I found it's bill and and I VERY gently pulled it out so the poor thing could breathe and got part of it's body out and I think this egg was a double yolker.... You can see its 2 different yolks by that little bit of red/pink stuff... I might try to get a picture of it separated if its even possible... I feel so bad about the poor baby..

Heres a pic.... If you dont like gross stuff then i suggest you dont look...

I hope it all turns out well for you. I read the link oesdog put up and did what it told me. I also had a shrink wrapped chick. Good Luck with your baby
