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

Weasel, dux...

They are almost the same..... they rhyme, have the same number of syllables, same number of letters and smell the same.

Only difference is weasels make a decent hat.

Weasels are evil, dux are not! They are sweet and innocent!
I do agree about the hat portion though.

I figured you’d root the weasel on in his bid to take down the dux...

Bruise? I can see shadowing in the air cell. I see yellow at the top of the air cell that kinda looks like fluid but baby is alive and moving. Not sure what to do.

I will mention that this is one that had a small air cell so I removed the bloom a couple of days ago. I do see movement and shadowing in the air cell so I’m not sure.

Here’s a photo to show the yellow near the top of the air cell. Fluid? I’m not sure what to do with this little fella.

@Pyxis any advice?

Try tapping near the bruise and see if you can tell if the beak is right behind it. That usually happens when they try to pip in the wrong spot and fluid from inside the shell leaks between the membrane and the outer shell. If you can feel/hear it tap back, I’d be tempted to try to make a small safe hole right at the bruise.

Thanks! I’ll try this and report back!
I appreciate the help!

@WVduckchick i just checked and couldn’t feel or hear tapping.
Think I should go ahead and proceed with a small hole in the shell?

It’s moving around and alive
