I was wondering if it caught a draft. Ducks can get colds too.

Or could it have a clogged nare? Make sure the water is in a way it can clean out it's "blow holes" LOL.

Ok people... I need you to talk me down.

As you know I have the 6 ducks that are in lockdown. I have one that has pipped last night and nothing since. I have 2 others that have gotten through the air cell. The others show movement inside but nothing since. I have humidity at 70 to 75. It's a sauna in there. I fear a repeat of the last 2 hatches. I'm so nervous. I HAVE to figure this out and get it right!

Nope, its draft free, and they get clean water 12 times a day....

QJ, if the air cell size is good and you have humidity at 70-75 then you've done all the right things. Sounds like they are going fine so far

DG, the small size of Cheese isn't such a worry on its own but the messy bottom and clogged nostrils are issues. He might need vet attention. Anyway, I see that you have lots of pages in your thread about him so I'll head over there.

Thanks for the pep talk guys. I'm okay. I'm stable. I'm not over obsessing like before.. I'm a changed hatcher.

That being said... stay close to your computers.
