Too long?

Should I offer them food yet or just water? And when do they go in for a paddle? Obviously not yet just want to get it right x

You messed with the egg, didn't you?

No not at all he hatched completely on his own I videoed it all and you see him come out like that I just don’t know how to post a video? But he was only one to come out like this x

In order to post a video you have to first put it on vimeo or youtube. Then you copy and paste the link here.

You could give them food and water now. This is what I've used for my babies so they can't get in it by can dunk their little heads. They are just cool whip containers.

I felt really bad that he came out like this like I’d done something wrong, been worrying about him all day but I didn’t help him at all he was really fast at zipping, the video has my mum and dad on FaceTime on the phone next to me so it’s abit noisy lol but il try work it out, I have these for water they ok?

Where are you anyway? You might have said but it would be good to have your location under your avatar.

Simple to do and really helps people help you. Just go to the top right where your "BYC name" is and click. A drop-down menu will take you to “Account Details”. If you put your location there it will always be under your picture.

Not for long! They'll make a huge mess with that and will outgrow it very soon. They have to be able to dunk their heads all the way in and you'll be amazed at how fast they grow.

Just dip their bill just the tip in the water warm water too not cold and wait till tomorrow to offer feed and that little one can go into the same brooder if you have a small container to keep it in by morning it should be fine to be with everyone.

I posted a photo sorry Iv made it confusing starting that other thread in a panic earlier lol

 

[DuckyDonna]

Yes, what @Miss Lydia said about the water is true. Do NOT give them cold water or they could have seizures. Do NOT let the water run out either. That's when they get into trouble when they try to drink too much because they are so thirsty. Then you'd really be a wreck!
