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

Here’s how his feet are looking. His little legs seem splayed and his toes are still slightly curled. He hobbled around right now. I’m thinking I’ll use the tape to make him little booties. The toes have straightened some and he’s a bit stronger now. The toes straighten completely when I spread them apart.

I'd wait until tomorrow, they usually straiten up on there own.

If you have to, I use painter's tape for 3 days and it's usually resolved.

That's just exactly what I was going to say.

I just collected about 30 eggs from this last week. Yes..I'm lazy and don't collect every day.

I might have to fire up the incubator.

I think you should! There’s nothing cuter than these little call duckings!

I've found keeping them on a flat surface like that shelf liner or towel or puppy pad for the first couple of days really helps.
Looks like you were already doing that.

Yep, me too! I’ve found they can grip much better on that. He’s getting much stronger. His brother is happy to finally have a friend!
