When should I put a safety hole in a call duck egg?

[Cheems]

@Overo Mare @shawluvsbirds The white one seems to be a little bit smaller than the others and a little weaker, anything I should do about that? I would amagine its fine and I am not super concerned about it, its really not a big difference, but I just want to know if theres an obvious thing I should do that would help even though the duckling is fine and is not a runt by quite a bit. Also, the ducklings are doing great, although im a little concerned about the shavings. Soon I will take some more pictures by the way, maybe even with some lavender orpington chicks I recently bought, not the best timing to get lavender orpingtons because I want to give my full attention to the ducklings, but ive been wanting some lavender orpingtons specifically for a long time so I decided to pick some up, plus I have more than enough room for them and enough supplies.

Just make sure they're warm enough and give them time. Maybe showbthem the water and food today. Do you have Nutri-drench? A little drop of that in their water wouldn't hurt.

I have apple cider vinegar that I have heard that can be good, so I put that in their water, you think I should get some nutri-drench?

Dump the ACV. They don't need it. Fresh water or a little nutri-drench.

More pictures! Ignore my hand, it looks really red and weird in that picture because I have been washing my hands too much (I wear gloves when I assist, but still I wash my hands afterwards)

By the way, I have another group of snowy call duck eggs I bought, and one of them has this REALLY strange air sac. It is where its supposed to be, but then on one side it goes down the whole side of the egg and down to the pointy side, its really strange. It happened during shipping and its developing, I find it unlikely it will hatch, but is there anything I should do about that egg? I could take a picture if you'd like, just let me know. in the air sac, its also not air in all of the area, theres like fluid or something? its just the air bubble moves around in there, but its not detached its just the air sac is really big and the bubble isnt as big

Also, forgot to add this so im editing it to add this, the lavender orpingtons arent being kept in the same area, I just brought one in there for a moment to take pictures and to see what the ducklings thought of it

I am in LOVE with that nutmeg baby!!

Sounds like your snowy egg is severely saddled. I only have experience with mildly saddled eggs.

I have to say, I have been keeping chickens for a little while now, not very long, it is actually quite recent, because someone found 2 chickens abandoned in the park a few months ago and I took them, then got a few more. But I have to say, ducklings and my sister's ducks, are a LOT more entertaining and fun than chickens, although chickens are still pretty awesome, I REALLY enjoy keeping ducks and I am afraid of how addicting it is because of how awesome ducks are

yeah, nutmeg is REALLY friendly and crawls into my hand whenever I go over there and runs to the entrance.

I also think that snowy egg is severely saddled, so I guess we will see how it does but it is REALLY extreme so I don't think it will make it unfortunately, but I will do what I can to give it the best odds!

Beautiful babies
The wee one will hopefully be ok. Is it eating and drinking now?
Do you have nutri drench?
