Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Oh! I almost forgot.. Celtic- Ya know that one Silver apple I had come out looking like a mallard? Well... It quacks ALL the time now so girl... like you said. BUT- It's coloring is backwards. It's the same as the male AND it's getting a white ring around it's neck.

Is this normal? Or is she... special.
 
I just got back from googling. I agree with the Hernia thing too. I'm just wondering where the yolk sac is. Could it be somehow in the hernia thingy?




I found one account where it ended up living so just hang in there.
Yes, a hernia could very well be tied into any digestive issues, as they are all related very closely down there. It doesn't seem at all impossible this issue may resolve itself, given time. Just like when a human baby is premature, it needs those extras days of growing and preparing on the outside of its protective womb now. Give the baby another day or two, they time it would have taken to slowly complete its hatch, while completing neccessary physiological changes. (ya know, getting ready for life on the outside physically) Don't do anything rash, just be a good nurse. Do what Celtic and QJ and I said, keep it moist, let it rest. Lucky looked unlikely to make it at first, but 1.5 days later, he was finally up, working both legs, yolk in, and out and about. You could never tell now how close he came to being unlucky.

Where is the yolk sac then? It wouldn't have been absorbed all the way yet. This is weird DG. Are you SURE it's not yolk at all? Maybe it ruptured somehow?

I have no idea, but I didn't think yolk was pink, Let me peek through the plastic window, maybe it is the yolk, I don't know... I don't think you know how confused/scared I am right now....
 
Relax DG, b r e a t h !!! Just keep breathing, girl. If its pink, prolapse or hernia. If its mixed, then there are other issues here. If its yellow, that is the best. If you don't look and go to bed, you can just not stress further. Maybe its time for you to just step back until morning. Your fear can get in the way of good decision making. (big hug)

I'm just SO confused!




QJ, if I remember correctly, I think my SA looks like the one you are talking about.

It's the one that was born looking like a mallard.. Ya know what, maybe I should google. It totally looks like a boy, but has an undeniable QUACK. But then I just noticed it almost has a full white ring around the neck.

I love the other 2 females though. They are Gorgeous!

Yolk isn't pink smarty pants. And yes I do know how confused/scared you are which is why I posed the question. Just breathe and take another look with the bator closed.
 
Oh people- Efowl has the magpies in right now. 2-4 week delivery. FYI. I think they're pricey. I tried to get the 5 minimum and it's charging me 30 something for not getting 10.

(not that I was going to get them... just wanted to see how much it would be.)

I want this breed before I get my runners. And then my collection will be complete. (sort of)

Yep, that is what my new baby looks like. I asked Celtic if it meant it was a boy and she said no... You cannot tell by colors as babies.
 
URG!!! I'm blind.

Its kinda yellowish pink now that I look at it?.... More pink then yellow though.... Is that worse then all pink? Its like the "left overs" of the yolk at on top of the oozy thing.... I just hope if he goes, he goes peacfully, and it won't be painful for him...
