    Does anyone know whats wrong with my duck?

    I mean it could be happening but I haven't noticed anything, her feathers aren't ripped out or anything and she doesn't seem nervous around them so I don't think so but again it's entirely possible

    Does anyone know whats wrong with my duck?

    So just FYI this is not any sort of life or death emergency just some weird behavior thats been worrying me. I have 12 ducks (anconas pekins and swedish) the pekins are 2 years old and the rest are 8 months old. Normally they all hang out in a flock together and are kind of skiddish towards the...

    I will! Do you think it'd be better to keep going on this thread or to make a new one?

    Quail hatch along! (with my own bodyheat)

    I definitely want to someday, but the quail have stopped laying with the colder weather so I'm not sure when we'll be getting eggs again.

    *GRAPHIC PICTURE WARNING* if anyone can look at these and see a possible reason they died, just so I can know and try to fix it in the future.

    Quail hatch along! (with my own bodyheat)

    Bad news. I open the eggs this morning and both babies were gone. Looks like they stopped developing several days ago, but were grown enough that they had all there external structures looking like birds. Thank you all for your encouragement and advice with this. Just wasn't meant to be this time.

    The doppler thingy didn't show a heartbeat:_( I think I'll wait until tommorow morning (day 20) then break into the air cell to check if the babies are okay. I'm thinking they aren't but I want to check just to make sure.

    Would putting aloe gel on the shell hurt them?

    My mom says I can try to use her old fetal heart doppler (for people babies), so I'm gonna try that later today. I want to wait til tommorow to try anything invasive.

    Quail hatch along! (with my own bodyheat)

    I did go under a blanket this morning and candle them. neither have an internal pip but both are completely dark (besides the air cell) which is further development from day 14 when I last candled

    Quail hatch along! (with my own bodyheat)

    It was floating low in the water and once it was still it didn't wiggle, per say but it was completely still the kind of rotated a little bit then spun slowly for a second til it naturally slowed down. I'm not really sure what any of that means though..

    Filling a cup of water right now to float test the egg that has no cracks

    Quail hatch along! (with my own bodyheat)

    I truly can't even tell whether that's a pip or just a crack. But it is kind of suspicious that I've managed this long without cracking them and on hatch day that shows up. Should I try the float test or something or just wait it out? I'm just worried if that is trying to be a pip if the baby is...

    I just woke up and the crack looks exactly the same.... still not even through the membrane
