Helped hatching and worried

[New duck mommy 2021]

So I went to get the baby! He/ she is doing great. He/she has a little hard spot on tummy. I’m assuming that’s normal and from the yolk sac. He/she has eaten and drank some and pooped a few times!

That’s great news
Yes the hard bump at the naval is normal
It will fall off

Baby is doing great!! Getting big fast. I really think he/she was too big to move in the right position. I am soo happy I saved this healthy ducks life!!

I have helped a handful of babies in smaller eggs and couldn’t turn
They are all healthy and strong
Over a year old and zero health issues
That’s why I assist when needed
Glad baby is doing great

Ok guys. My little pecked off its belly button scab it’s bleed a little bit. Should I be worried? What should I do? Fluffy seems ok and not in pain, just worried about infection. Right now fluffy has wood bedding should I put paper towel down until it’s dried up?

Def put down a towel you don't want anything sticking to this. Antibiotic ointment over this area. Make sure your hands are clean.

You can add antibiotic ointment without pain relief

Ok I put some ointment on. Fluffy seems ok. A little worried. Hopefully over night it will scab up again.

Ok I’m probably paranoid since I’m always worried. Newest concern, today fluffy seems to be wheezing on and off. I’m thinking the noise is nose whistling because once fluffy is done eating/drinking no more wheezing. I just placed a deep water container in so fluffy can get whole beak/ head in. Any things I should be looking out for? Fluffy is eating, pooping and acting normal other wise.

Keep an eye out now that Fluffy has a deep waterer to clean out his nares. That is important Hopefully he won't wheeze anymore.

When will you be able to check on the duckling again?
