It seriously just drank it by itself, about 4 or 5 drinks

Think its thriving.... Its soooooooooooo foozzy and cute!

Perfect!

Now just let it finish absorbing that yolk... after that you can move it to the brooder with water and food...

Something I've picked up over the last couple years is that parsley is quite high in niacin, I hatched a duckling last week that had wry neck and after three days with parsley in its food I can't even tell which one it is. I've fixed wry neck in several ducks with parsley, I don't always have brewers yeast but parsley is always in the spice cabinet. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Good tip, Dan!

So dried parsley works or does it need to be fresh?

I was messaging @Miss Lydia and she told me to go to @Ravynscroft for more information...

Yes I did because she has a lot of experience hatching in a bator I do not.

I've used both with the same results.

There's yellow stuff on the hand towels @Ravynscroft. Did it rupture?

HELP!

 

[GSDperson]

If so @Ravynscroft do you have any ideas for a ruptured yolk sac? Hes doing well now, hes drinking the water and vitamins, the area where the yolk sac is, is pretty nasty. Should I clean it up? Or leave it? Thankyou so much!!
