You bet, But you did all the work.

Yeah but your advice was what allowed me to do all the work!

He's starting to get fluffy but I notice that he's been shiviring since he hatched. Is this normal? I've never noticed it with any of my other ducklings.

I've had some that do that.
I'm not sure what causes them to do that and others not.
Did you have any nutra drench?

I would put him in a smaller dish and prop him up so he can't flop over on his back like that.

Congrats on the hatch!

I hope he gets better!

This one wasn't in a cup it was just in a little basket, but I had it propped in one corner using a paper towel and the thermometer.
These were some that I just finished hatching under a heat lamp because the mama duck left them behind.

Or you can just do what I do and stuff it in your bra for a while.
