@Ravynscroft I'm so impressed by your willingness to help and walk through this with him! Such a difficult situation, it's such a blessing you've been able to help so much! We're all rooting for him and wishing the very best!

Hey everyone, sorry I have not posted updates but Ive been like a one armed wall paper hanger today and I just needed a break. This delivery is killing me. I just hope I get my figure back before the pool is opened lol. Anyway, so far so good, baby is resting well and probably a third of the way out. It may be ready to come all the way out but he is not fussing and no signs of stress so Im letting him call the shots for a while, and I dont think and can take any surprises right now.

Many of you are commending Raven on her help and no matter the outcome, I will never be able to thank her enough for all that she has done and the time she has spent with me during the wee hours of the night trying to coach me. Having said that I also need to say to all of you, every single person on this thread weather you have just stopped by to read the posts and give a thumbs up or sent a note of encouragement as well as spent the wee hours of the night answering questions Ive posted....I say thank you to each and every one of you. While this has been very difficult and not quite over yet I need to say that this has been such an amazing and positive experience for me and that is all because of everyone of you.

Hey Steven, GOOD JOB! I know its stressful, you are doing a great job taking care of this little duckling. Sorry I don't have enough experience to give great advice, just wanted to say I am rooting for you and the hatchling.

Keep up the good work!

I think it has been a positive experience for all of us too. I know personally I am so impressed with the people on this thread. There is so much hatred and bad news in the world right now and this has renewed my faith in mankind and made me realize that there is a lot of good in the world if you just look for it.

After this is all over I think we should have yearly reunions. Lol

Steven Sir, you give me hope for this old world. It's great knowing that there are SO many people, like myself, who would go to the "trouble" for a tiny little life. I already loved this place and now am sure this is THE BEST forum on the net!
Dear Hunny asked why all the trouble for a 3 dollar duck, I asked him why all the trouble for a lame mini mare..... He said hats off to you for helping. And he'd be doing the same if it were him LOL
Pictured is our $1.00 mini mare who came to us lame, sick, and with the most horrible hooves I had ever seen. She is his baby now after hundreds and hundreds of dollars in farrier care, vet bills, premium feed and hay. She will never be able to ride or drive, so in the eyes of some, she is useless. To him she is his baby. She knows it and follows him everywhere he goes, including into the chicken lot.
Gentlemen like the 2 of you are a dying breed. Thank you for caring and sharing and reminding Dear Hunny that there are others out there like him.
