Shrink wrapped ducks?? What should I do?

Date sort Score sort
5&7 are still kinda sluggish in the incubator.. What can I do for them to help them along?
I've noticed that even though upside downer is up and about.. Fluffed and in the brooder.. He's not as steady as #1, and he still lays his head down a lot. Is that normal? The brooder babies have been drinking the vitamin water. I have food in there but neither seem interested yet

They may be kinda sluggish for a bit and the babies don't always eat right away. If they are perky, cheeping and running around then I wouldn't worry too much. Number 5 @ 7 had a long hatch so they may be a little tuckered out! Hopefully Miss Lydia and Lacrystol will keep checking in on this thread too and can offer some help if needed! I will keep checking in as well to see how your ducklings are doing and how your next hatch goes. PLEEEESE post updates to this thread

Muskies are prone to dehydration.... Hold there little heads up and try to give them a drop of vitamins.

If they don't eat in a day or two, try giving them some peanut butter. They love the taste and it incourages them to want to eat
