Your thread has over 4,000 views...you and this duckling are celebrities!

IKR! (I didn't want him to get 'stage fright' I don't think he knew)

he is pretty lively in there and his bill almost looks like its chattering like what we would do it we were cold. No idea if this means anything...any advice? Still dont know if I should assist further or wait. I guess I am curious as to how much time should go by without a yawn before it should be safe? I should probably be watching for that but so worried he will see me and want to come out.

Has all the makings of a great movie...Lol edge of your seat suspense, compassion, and ducks!

It needs to come out.....Encourage it to work its way out....It might need assistance?.....

Best wishes.....

 

[biophiliac]

You are hiding from him!?

 

[chickens really]

The Vaseline might be having the wrong effect and making it too slippery for it to actually use it's Bill to get out on its own?....

How much of the shell have you chipped off so far?

What a friend taught me is to dip the umbilical in cornstarch so it drys up quickly and no bacteria gets in and it will heal very quickly....I had to do that the last hatch with one that blasted out of the shell and was bleeding....Keeping it moist does not allow it to heal fast....

.....

right, but we werent talking umbilical, we were talking unabsorbed yolk
