I don't have a local bird vet where I live, I've been told that if I put her in a warm bath she would naturally pass them through , is that true

Buck I lost one of my Muscovy's a couple months ago to egg issues, i brought her inside and let her float in a tub of warm water most of a sat. she wouldn't eat but would drink, Sunday morning I filled the tub again with nice warm water and let her float. when i took her out she did lay and egg and it was normal looking, later that early evening she began to pass white egg white looking stuff and passed away about 2 hrs later. I'm thinking an egg much have broken inside. Sometimes they can pass the egg if given time to float in warm water sometimes there are complication. I hope your girl will be okay.

Here are the kiddos at 4 & 6 weeks old. They've since doubled in size (1.5 weeks later!)










And a video that I took last night of them swimming. The black and white one is a total spaz.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, canvas hatched another egg yesterday exactly two weeks after the first one hatched. And today it came out of the nest with her older brother and he started attacking her, but only when she came out of the nest and when i went to intervene he attacked her even more aggresivly , so I picked her up quickly and put her in the nest with mom, and he got in there when I put her in and completly just stopped being aggressive, y do y'all think he did that

Your older duckling can really hurt the one that just hatched I don't think the 2 should be together yet. The newest one needs to get strength and it's legs under it.

I can't take it away it gets distressed every time it steps out of the nest, the bigger one leaves it alone when they're both in the nest

Hey so one of my eggs is moving in the incubtor, should I stop turning, it hasn't peeped or anything or maybe it has and I just haven't noticed but it hasn't cracked the egg yet. So should I turn on the turner or keep it off
