Keep your humidity high. She has an external pip so she can breathe. Give those veins time to recede.

Exactly! Also don't forget the clumsiness! The way they step on their on feet because they are too big for their little legs!  

That is funny. And so cute. The clumsy and very bulbously round puff burds with orange webs stepping on their own feets.

Julie, you need your own pekin quackers... Although to be honest I'm slightly worried their cuteness might be the death of you.

Snow flake went broody on chicken eggs. But she has me concerned.she acting very scared but stays still. And pants very hard with a slight squal like you have lerin jidice. She never used to stay in nesting boxes when I bring there food in. She let me pet her but still didn't want me to touch chicken eggs. But she will not sit on her eggs or her sisters.but I don't know if they our fighting I see feathers gone On top of her head. Be have barrier more eggs. Some of them have black/blue glob. Some of them is still scrambling eggs.and some have the chicken in them. No change from what I was getting in the incubator. None of the outside ones hatched duck or chicken eggs. Duck eggs still in incubator. They have laid about 8 each outside.
