Premature duckling

[Miss Lydia]

It’s pretty out of it still. Make sure to keep it warm and on soft clean bedding. Do not touch the area where the sac is. Any more hatch or hatching?

Hi, I'd probably keep it in a small cup with DRY paper towels for cushioning, in the incubator, or under a heat lamp maintaining a temperature around 95F, humidity around 40-50%. Limit handling the duckling, we want to reduce further stress.

The prognosis seems pretty grim for the little guy, hopefully, he pulls through!

Its 37.8 humidity 60. The yolk sac is drying up throughout the day but not much change with it moving .

That's a little warm for one that just hatched. Try lowering it to 35 and see if it does better.

I've just done that. Thankyou for your advice . If it makes it through the night do you think he stands a better chance?

Can he hold his head up and are his eyes open?
