Best inside of egg I could get. Nice thing is the big yolk looking thing between his legs seems to be gone. Looks like a really nasty duck poo there now.


Propped with more paper towels:


Is the plan at this stage to wait till they kick themselves free? He still hasn't opened his eyes, though he peeps with much annoyance at being jostled or moved.

Looks good in there, I'm wondering though if it was yolk that you were seeing, usually there belly button swells up, and it's been mistaken for yolk, so I'm thinking he's starting to swell down, which is good because he'll get more active soon. It's ok about the eyes, it will probably be a while before he does open them. Give him about two hours of being prop, when the two hours are up, take out the paper towels and lay him down with his feet at the bottom of the bator so that he can squorm his way out.

dont worry about wetting him or anything,
