Hello, and welcome to BYC. Hatching is hard work and especially so for late hatchers. Glad that the duckling is gaining strength.

I'm so happy! I was really worried.....he was stuck in the shell and just couldn't break out for over 24 hours.....so i finally, gently helped him hatch but i was terrified that he wouldn't make it. It's amazing to see in just a few hours how much stronger he has become.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Glad to hear the little guy is doing better now! Its not easy to get out of the shell and if things get tougher for any reason, it makes it all the harder. We have a Ducks forums too for more help, duck chat and sharing photos.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/

Welcome aboard!

Hi and welcome to BYC, @JennyHendley! This is an amazing community of experts who will be glad to answer any questions you have!

I haven’t ever hatched anything, hopefully the little guy just needs some extra recovery time!

Thank you.....he was doing SO much better and was bopping around and cat napping....then he did a weird poop with some blood and then a liquidy poop that was very yucky and yellow and a lot.....now, he has something hanging that looks like a sack coming out of him. I don't know what to do now! I just made another post looking for assistance...hopefully someone knows what that is....
I don't want him to suffer

Oh no! I hope you can get help with him soon, poor little guy.

Did you start a thread on him? You will get help much faster that way.

Yes, I did, but haven't had any replies yet....
He's not looking good...
