Good Wednesday Morning!! Had to stop and think what day it is. When retired hard to keep up.

Looking for advice on a 2 month old call duck. Eating and drinking fine but sitting a lot, when she stands wings out, walks on tip toes somewhat unstable.

What are you feeding and are you using any form of niacin?

Good morning everyone!
As my father-in-law would say, when you're retired everyday is a Friday.

Greetings @baucker and welcome to BYC.

Patti, I too actually have a duckling question. One of my younger Runners will sit on her tail and knees with her feet stretched out in front of her. It doesn't happen very often, and she doesn't seem to have any balance issues or even anything else to notice. When she gets up, she walks and runs perfectly. Does that sound like something to be concerned about, or is little Miss just comfy? It's pretty cute to be honest. If I can get a picture of it I will.

Not to long ago I found a very good article of dry hatching, but I can't find it now. I've used the search function, but that is not very resourceful as 99% of the results are thread (with the "articles only" checked).

The main thing I remember is the humidity levels where lower than my incubator recommends... Should I just follow my incubators instructions, or would I be better off following the experienced advice of the folks here. I'm guessing the later.

Obviously my description of "a very good article" is not all that helpful, but can someone direct me to any dry hatch article or threads that could help me understand better, please.
