So one of the remaining eggs has externally pipped and my mum has put it in a plastic box with a lamp on it and a dish of water. That's all we have :/ got another on eggs but they're not due til next weekend so don't want to screw them up by putting these eggs with her

Change of plans I'm going to ask for him to hold it for me and I might return the one baby tomorrow

How many do you have now?

I got myanfarins today, they're 4 to 5 weeks old but 1 died it wasn't my ideal time to ge them yet But I did, the one that died got chilled I feel aweful

you don't have a heat lamp on them?

 

[cajunfowl0]

I hate to say I told you so but.....yeah. And the stress plus that is what mostly likely killed hin

 

[Buck Oakes]

The guy didnt have them under a heat lamp but the one I have left is under the brooder now, you were right I just pray that this one is gonna live, it's doing fine now it's in with a call duckling, they ate and drank fine, but the one that died was drinking and eating very wierdly, but I feel so guilty.
