the peices are coming together. She started with 7 eggs. One got squished. One went missing. And mom killed three as they were hatching. She is 1st timer and didnt know what to do. So i made a huge decision. I took her eggs and put them under a broody hen. She has two ex pipped ducklings who were getting squished last night we had 3 and today we have 2. I dont know if this was right but mom was squishing them as they were hatching. The death scene was the same. No shell just squished duck in membrane. I am praying the hen will save the babies

This was like the biggest decision ever. But after all the losses i want at least two to live.

It sounds like a good choice to me since momma duck seemed to be having a hard time knowing what to do when they started hatching

How did momma duck react when you removed the last two eggs? Was she stressed or upset?

Its shrink wrapped! BAD!
