SOS PLEASE HELP Shrink-wrapped? duck day 28

@MGG he isn't walking much at all unlike his closest in age sibling, but he does have one pretty severely bent toe I don't know if maybe that's behind it?

It's just a rough navel. The iodine is good. If you have any honey or triple antibiotic ointment you can put that on too.

done! thank you!

 

[MGG]

I've been giving him duravet vitamins &electrolytes (1/4 tsp to 1 gallon) but he's just SOOOOO sleepy

Ok, keep that up.

Was he a malpositioned one? I think he's just tired. Let him be for now.

forgot to update, Tiny soprano is doing really well now! the vitamins must have done the trick!

My very last question I promise:

my last egg just hatched, it has some unabsorbed yolk so I'm leaving it in the incubator. it is cheeping and sleepy like most of my yolk hatches were when they first came out, but one question, it smelled a bit like urine... is that bad? He had nicked his veins a few times so there's dried blood in the equation along with the fact that he was cooking for 30 days... does this sound normal or bacterial in your experience?

update: urine-smelling chick was ok! he was a near loss, but with a little TLC he made it!
