Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[Ruralhideaway]

Nearly dry and some stronger ones are grooming the others. They are so sweet. I'll just go down to 99, seems safe.

Ducky SOS! A few of mine are laying on their back paddling in the air. Some got better overnight, 4 did not.

Should I prop up a bit and nutridrench?

Night thanks for the moral support!

It's what we do ain't it?

Well, since we're talking cute babies, I think I have settled on Bianca and Squirt as names for this duo. These 2 were ones I kept from my incubator hatch, just in case Lexi didn't hatch any, I thought maybe she'd accept them. Not!
But they seem to be ok with just each other for now.

Awwwww...
What colors are they?

She give me a death glare when I took it. . and I let her bite my left hand while I let it get snuggled under her. . and watched for a minute. .and backed away slowly. . I think it will be ok. She settled right down once she felt it pushing under her.

They are looking good. I'm thrilled. View attachment 1361194

I know it won't hurt to prop them .. not sure about the nutridrench..

I know vitamin E would be good for neurological stuff. Nutri drench seems helpful for strengthening everything in general.

I'll get the strong ones moved so they quit trampling them and hope someone knows.

I know most peeps give it and works great, I'm just not sure how soon after hatching it can be given...

That's probably a good idea. Give the weaker ones a better chance to rest .

On a happier note 3 look perfect. Thought I'd lose them all for a bit there yesterday.

That's wonderful! It's always so nerve wracking ... hopefully the others will pull through.

I had a couple from my last hatch that took an extra day to get their legs. Just give them a little time. Moving the others is a good option.

Good morning all!

The dark one is Grey. The light one ?? Pastel? It's different than any others I've hatched. Curious to see it grow out.
