[Danielle2006]

Oh i forgot to add that when i flipped him over to put flour on it it was a tiny tenny spot of yoke smaller than a pencil eraser

 

[WVduckchick]

Awesome! That will be drawn in by tomorrow or the next day. You could put a little neo on it, or just leave it. Should be fine. :yiipchick

Use cornstarch. Quick Stop is what you buy at the pet store for dogs and cats when you're trimming their nails and trim too closely and they bleed

Thank you all!! I went ahead and set him in a basket on a towel the bleeding has stopped and he is getting some energy so i put them both (the 2 that hatched together today) into the brooder with my goofy duck that hatched yesterday im hoping that between him chriping and the sugar water i have been giving them the perk up and i promise lots of pics tomorrow

 

[Danielle2006]

So his bleeding had completely stopped after i put him in the brooder but nither of the 2 that hatched yesterday can walk its like their right legs are lame any ideas? I know its from them not hatching out themselves but is there anything i can do to assit them in learning to walk

Glad the bleeding has stopped.....not real sure what to do about the legs?....I'm sure someone else will be on that has had the same issues .....possibly the Ducklings are still week?

Best of luck....

Cheers!

Well, at least that's one positive.

I like NutriDrench for a quick vitamin boost. And niacin is important for ducklings legs. So check what you are feeding them.

There are lots of leg issues, some clear up with a little time, others need addressed quickly. So its hard to guess.
Firm footing is important for ducklings, nothing slick under them, like newspaper or anything flat and slick.

Here's a great site for leg problems, they talk alot about chicks, but alot applies to ducklings too.
