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

I need name ideas for all the little black bibs! How on earth am I going to tell them apart!

preferably something that has to do with water (after Splash)

Here’s the babies in the brooder.

Here’s the final count from Cami’s hatch. She ended up with 5. Four little black bibs and one that appears to be a blue fawn. She had one that internally pipped but never externally pipped. I went in to make a safety hole but it was too late.

mom moving the whole family to a little house with a heatlamp. Pictures soon!

Spoiler: Eggtopsy Cami’s little baby

Advice? I have a baby with no definite internal pip yet. Shadowing is visible though. However I can hear the it tapping on the shell. Should I add a small safety hole. No bruising or anything. This baby is on the same day as the two that hatched. Is it possible this one is malpositioned too?

I usually have one late one. If you give a safety hole without it being internally pipped, it will shrink wrap.
