Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

Of course! The waiting is the hardest part! I hope you have a good hatch! I’ll be waiting for duckling pictures from you and @shawluvsbirds !

Yes, waiting is the hardest part.
Thank you.
Of course, I'll post pictures when they will hatch.

I got my bed all ready to camp out upstairs on hatch day.
It's only day 6 but you can never be too prepared right? ROFL.
I still have to go get my brooder out and bring it inside and make sure I have all those supplies ready.
And buy some food too.
Last time I had Littles coming I didn't realize they were going to hatch so soon and didn't have any crumbled feed for them.

Aww! That looks like the absolute perfect setup! You are much more prepared than I was! Lol no you can’t ever be too prepared right? I went to get feed the day I set them... I also set the brooder up about a week early. I’m so excited for you!!

sorry my reply is late, I’m at the farm for a while with a terrible signal. (No WiFi) and I can’t use the emojis...

No worries
I'm just being a silly.

Well I’m worried about little wobbles. He is still very unsteady and falls over a lot. I haven’t been able to get much food and water in him. Maybe a couple little bites and a bit of water. He also shakes a lot. I got a drop of nutridrench in him.

I also notice that his little eyelid and membrane are half closed (exposed) on one of his eyes. I’ve never seen this. I’m worried about him but, he is walking around and pecking at stuff.

I don't really know what you can do for him besides running a little nutradrench down the side of his bill a couple times a day and hopefully he will snap out of it. Those ones that are slowpoke like that to hatch seem to have issues sometimes.

I did give him a bit. I hope he pulls through. I really love the little fella. Thanks for the help.
