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

Well the malposition was able to wiggle himself out. His navel doesn’t look very good. It is protruding and looks like it didn’t close all the way. Looks a bit red/bloody. I have zinc free antibiotic ointment. Should I dab a bit on there? His leg is a bit gimpy too so I have him in a little cup sitting in the incubator for now. Very wobbly.

How’s it look now? Ointment is fine, usually not necessary, but it’s ok to do.

Thanks! Looks much better. It’s not protruding as much anymore.

The baby is sleeping with pickle. Pickle is keeping him warm and being a good sibling.

Here’s pickle and dill this morning.

Babies are doing well this evening! They’re now both eating and drinking. I finally got Pickle to eat some crumbles! They’re running around and being their mischievous selves!

I also must report that the eggs I took from Cami (that were a few days behind) are shadowing and have drawdown this evening!
