Can someone take a look at my duck and see what I should do??? http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-hatch-cam

Should I put his lower body back in the shell to maybe keep things close and moist? MAYBE it could fix itself??

Not sure what to do here. Not getting my hopes up though. This little guy is very weak. (This is the one that pipped at the small end of the shell to. So he was cramped on space.)

There is a couple small veins and a pretty good sized one still attached to that bulge too.

Try to put his bottom half in a plastic baggie.

If the others are working diligently on the external pip, I would leave them alone. I can't remember what you said they were working on now..

Crap. I'll go re-read.

If I were to do anything for the little guy, maybe try to set him on a damp paper towel? You'd be surprised at how resilient they can be. I'm still hoping he will make it!

Gauze against the abdomen, vet wrap figure 8 style in place looping around the legs and not trappi g the, so it can move freely. Leave in place for at.east 4-6 hours. Normally they will absorb it and be fine as they strengthen post hatch. Ducks and geese hatch pretty worn out normally. So floppy and weak looking is typical.
