woke up to a ducking 3 days early

Awe, a precious little sleeping baby bird. Baby bird!! With webs.

If it doesn't absorb it, I read about someone putting it in a teacup lined with tissues. It keeps it from stumbling all around and gives the yolk time to absorb. It worked on a chick the one time I tried it. It can take a day.

That's sweet. A newborn in a cup with tissues. Loves.

So glad it made it!! on the rest!!

Hoooopooooose. I see his webby. I cannot fathom this. Seeing the tiny child bird in his elgg. He is in there growing. It is a treat. How many days til hatch? Thank you for posting. What I find fascinating are the genes responsible for cute duck parts. A webby feets gene, a bill gene, a chubby cheeks gene....a cute gene.

Today will be Day 15, so 11 more days left... they're due on Thanksgiving Day...

Doing good. Got it to drink already and it pooped. Belly looks good too. Now if only the chicks that hatched Wednesday & Thursday will just leave it alone!

@OldMissionChick How is the duckling doing in with your older chicks. I would be hesitant to put a newly hatched duckling in with chicks period, I hope things are going okay. and Congrats.

I recently posted a picture of my rouen duck because he was missing feathers on his butt and someone said he was molting but today I flipped him over to see and this is what it looks like, the other duck does not have this problem, can someone please tell me whats wrong Thanks

Hey there, posting a pic of a post I put up elsewhere so save from retyping! Seems the thread I tried, hasn't been active in a while.

His bottom looks pretty messy and is that something sticking out? Not sure if it's a prolapse or maybe just the way your holding him

Give us an idea of what your seeing.
