I have 6 in my incubator. What is with the Ugh? Did something happen to yours?
Hatching. Not having good luck with shipped duck eggs. Had a duckling pip early and die on me. :/ They all have real large saddled air cells.
The eggs look odd. Like they aren't alive can't see movement ect. But they still have heat. One duckling pipped early internally on day 24 which is today and started to zip and then died. All vent plugs are open and humidity is in the 60's ( dry incubation method.) jusy bad luck i reckon. Not to mention the air cells are saddled bad. :/
my two babies are ticking me off lol. They put themselves to bed one night just to mess with me I think because I have had to wangle them up and put their little feathered behinds in the coop just making the door closing or through my door because the door auto shut for the night. You ctell they don't like it in the dark (they make a heck of a noise) so why don't they get in their coop? We checked no boogie things in there to scare them. They like their roosts now that I gave them a training ladder to reach it. I swear they are like m kids when little and just fight going to bed. They make a bunch of noise at first in their coop but quickly settle down on their roosts for the night.You can tell they don't like it in the dark (they make a heck of a noise) so why don't they get in their coop? Also how much ACV should I add to their 5 gallon water system (nipple type)?
I'll be out to add that now. Keeping fingers crossed they will get to bed on their own tonight.
