Hey everyone! I just hatched out a Cayuga duckling.......waiting on the second to emerge.......thinking it is a girl, but not sure. She is kinda flopping around and I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal. She does this, but if I pick her up, she just snuggles in and goes to sleep with some pipping here and there. My momma chicken hatched the eggs, but now the ducks are getting no attention. Hopefully the video will post. I'm not holding her down. She just seems to calm if I'm touching her.

UPDATE: Just lost this little one. She seemed like she was doing better and then today just went downhill fast. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Thank you! She will definitely be missed. I feel bad for her(?) buddy and my kiddos.

Im really sorry to hear that!
Are you left with a lone duckling now?
A mirror in the brooder can help with loneliness

He is a lonely little guy now, but will have a friend tomorrow. In the mean time, he is getting all the love and attention from his humans. I didn't think about a mirror. Thank you for that suggestion.
