I dont think there is a need for that! He is out and all fluffed up! Very tired but alive and healthy!

I gave him a bath in warm water, and put him in the brooder closer to the light with the younger ducklings.

Will upload pic now!

Well, it's good that he's out. Not sure what you did with the cord but you should only cut it once it's dried out fully. Otherwise it provides a way for infection to enter the stomach cavity. If you did happen to cut it while it was not fully dried out then dab a bit of Betadine on the cut end.

Looking forward to the pics!!

Dont worry... Lol. I didnt cut it. A friend said that its a bad idea and he could bleed out. It was all dried up. he is now sleeping on warm cloth is a brooder under a light.... Here is the lucky duck after a bath

he was put under the light right after...

What were your hatch rates? I know the last time you got 4 duckies, but how many eggs did you put in, and how many ducks did you get out?​

 

[70%cocoa]

First hatch I put in 20 ans got 3. Second hatch I put in 6 and got 4.

 

[DUCKGIRL89]

3?! Thats it? What colors were they? I know the last time you had all blues, but what do you have this time?
