CG, they are about 24 hours old now. Was she round right after hatching? Will have to compare these with the buff SB poms hatching soon.

Where did you stock come from? She got hers at a hatchery, so maybe thats the difference?

Celtic abby was 2 days old by the time she got here.
She has always been smaller and more dainty and still is but she is now the sweeter of the 2. Amelia is the look out. Shes quick to step between any of the cats or dogs and her sister

DG yes that can be a big part of it. These two are hatched from eggs here in FL. The buff SB poms we are hatching are from two private sources.

CG she sounds very sweet. Can't wait to have these grown out.

I hatched 4 out of 4 little SQ cochin chicks (hoping I got a little blue roo out of that) but the runners didn't have such a good hatch. I had two that internally pipped but they never externally pipped. and then two more never internally pipped and the last one had not internally pipped either so I went in to help and after opening up the membrane it's breathing got pretty labored so I left it alone for 30 min and it had passed as well.

I should have never tried them in the new bator...... I've got all my duck eggs in my old trusty now. I guess the one will just be for chicken eggs and the old one will be my duck bator from now on. Anyway, I've got another set in the bator last night and will try this again in another 28 days.

I'm so sorry you had a bad hatch! But keep your spirits up, the eggs I got from you are cooking along and will let you know how many ducklings I end up with!
