How´s the little thing today? What a shame you´re having a bad time of it with the ducklings. Could be in-breeding, but also could be dirty eggs, and, of course, incubation not quite being right, which is why I leave all mine under the muscovies, as they do such a fantastic job.
I can only get Baytril here, it´s for cats and dogs, but a tiny amount is ok for birds, too. Otherwise I use ACV in water, honey, coconut oil, teat tree oil, etc etc, natural products to help to heal. Of course, if the infection´s got inside, it´s much more difficult to save them. What a shame, I thought that with the care you were giving it, it would be fine.

My hens have hatched out the 13 expected ducklings. Will take some pics later. Over half of them will be barred.

This is my drake (bumblebee). He is almost 8 weeks. Is he huge or is he normal sized for a drake?

They can sure grow fast, he looks like a big boy usually by 8 weeks they are so much bigger than the girls they do look abnormal but he is normal. very pretty Scovy's too.

they were under the hen, I took them out 2 days after hatch day due to them having trouble externally pipping.. duckling 1 has passed away during the night. So we have 3 ducklings. The chocolates are 2 generations in, but I was told they will be ok as long as I dont breed their offspring.. I found someone who would trade my drake for a solid white. So hopefully this will all be fixed.

thank you, so far these are the only survivors. The baby that just hatched has a tiny bit of cord hanging out of its navel, so hopefully itll survive and not die as well. 3 out of 9
