Can anyone help me and tell me what's gone wrong? Thanksyou

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm a chicken person and don't know much about ducks (although I've had a few), but I have to admit that ducklings are the ultimate in cute. Definitely post on the links that Mountain Peeps left with you and take advantage of our experts there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Cheers.

Welcome to BYC and the flock.

So sorry for your losses.

it's so hard to lose the little ones, their life cut short before it even began. My deepest sympathy.

Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you.

I'm sorry for your losses! I've never kept ducks myself, so I'm not completely sure what is wrong. But, I've heard from Call Duck breeders that many Call Ducks have difficulty getting out of their eggs. This is because they have very small bills and pipping is hard. Many show-quality Call Ducks get helped out of the shell. I'm not sure whether that's what went wrong with yours, however.
