I have no idea what I am doing

I should have specified they're chicken eggs. Sorry about that, I was a little frantic when finding them, and their three now orphaned baby chick siblings. No incubator, and no way to get one tonight.

Best to start a new thread in this forum to get more helpers...

Since we are proposing names for the baby, I rather like the name "Miracle"!

My eggs are hatching now! Internal pips yesterd. After reading this I'm getting ready for a long wait. Also making makeshift incubator just in case I need it! Hope you and your baby has a fun weekend!!!

Baby is actually on its first vacation to our summer place in eagle lake. I really wasn't going to go but when I got home my sister was babysitting and he was Trina to him out of his cage which is over two feet tall. We had to buy a wire top to keep him in. So I went a got an adapter for the car to plug in the heating pad and off we go to the lake for the weekend. Life is good I'm beyond thrilled and will have plenty of pics

Congratulations on your first born! Your dedication is impressive! Had such fun reading this thread. Good luck Daddy Duck!

Thats great!!!! So much fun!!

Yes, they're between 17-19 days. The one is day 18 for sure, the other is either day 17 or 19. The mother was killed by a fox sometime today and we just got done warming them back up using a heating pad... when candeling we can see definite movement from the day 18 egg, and even hear a peep! Right now I have them inside a small Tupperware container, with a wet sponge, on top of the heating pat inside a box..... Do you think that will work?! I'm obviously in over my head... we had planned on mama handling all of this

make sure their are ventilation holes in the tupperware container they need air

Awe how sweet. He is so tired because was busy destroying his cage again. He flung every nugget of food from one end of the cage to the other. Water apparently is not for drinking it's for swimming and putting your food in to make pancake batter. I really need to get a whole new setup to make this easier. I was anticipating a little weakling but I got the energizer bunny instead. I love him more than ever.

Clearly you are fibbing.....I can't imagine that little bundle of sweetness could possibly fling his food and dirty up his water. It must have been someone else.........
