Thanks, Kevin. I got it done! It is a very fine tutorial to a common growth problem and hope it gets stickied.

Is it still on the first page? I'll make a report as well. Hopefully the mod will sticky soon

DG, I wasn't going to say anything last night... but that is how Pretzel passed. It kicked its bottom half of shell off and tore something... looked similar to your pic. It didn't make it. The lesson I learned was to place Wrong Way and SA with bottom half of shells into a dish so that they had to stay in shell until I could visually see the yolk sac gone. Only then did I set them on towels on the bottom floor and let them kick the shell off.

Thanks, Kevin. You are great! How are you doing today?? Hopefully a tiny touch better??

I don't remember Pretzel :/

Sorry about him anyway

Just made my report so hopefully with a few more reports will get this a sticky! Today was better but still rough. Feeding the flock was very haunting not seeing my beautiful boys but the rest of the birds are still very healthy and seem to be coping okay.

Thanks, DG. It's ok, though. Pretzel served an important purpose in its short life.

Sorry to bring it up Kevin. But what breed were your 2 ducks that passed? Sorry for your loss!

Aww, I'm so sorry!! I bet they were wonderful! What genders are your mallards? Maybe if you have a pair, the hen will hatch eggs for you!!
