Ducklings shouldn’t have medicated feed
Go with non medicated
Check her vent for pasty butt
It can happen more then once to certain ducks
Add nutritional yeast the feed 1 tbs to 1 cup feed
Try Nutridrench or poultry cell in the water
My fingers are crossed for your baby
So glad they are all doing well
Yes the high humidity from them all hatching causes it
Make sure to check all Nantes once a day for pasty butt
It happens often when that goo gets stuck on vent area
Out of the 11 at the schools one baby had it
We were able to get it cleared off and baby...
It could be humidity is to high
Is this the last to hatch
? If so take a q tip and turn it over that gunk. It will lift off. Better to get it while wet before it sticks to baby
My last egg in each bator did this
Each bator at the schools hatched for 3 days and both last babies were sticky...
Wrong end babies take 48-72 hours
I wouldn’t do anymore
The safety hole id perfect
Not to big so sit gets in but that goo doesn’t dry to the duckling making the hatch impossible
If my wrong end babies don’t make their own stuff I will candle them after 48 hours
Not from the air cell but...
Internal pip can be 24 hours
Once they external pip it’s 24-48 more hours
Ducks take a very long time to hatch
You may see a second hit close to the first hit around 8-12 hours after the first
Not Always
Be patient
These guys have big yolks to absorb
If they have external pip they have air
I wouldn’t wash them
Way ti risky for bacteria to enter and kill the baby
Once the bloom is gone the egg is no longer protected
I also wouldn’t go much lower then 35-40 for humidity
Can you take a picture of the egg being candled
This will help to know if there is a lot of liquid still
The...
I never lower my temp I do raise humidity once I see the first internal pip
I never follow day 25 unless the 3 signs are there
I like to go by my eggs
I find I have better hatches when doing that
The runner ones look like they should
Yours are a bit small but if the egg is filling in it should be okay
They do griw really fast the few days before hatch
Yes I would cool once a day
I just lift my lid off and set my alarm for 10 mins
I do this with all my eggs
The moms get off the nest to eat drink poo and forge
With ducks they also swim
This just copies mom cooling and wetting her belly
I think that baby will be fine :)
The egg with the veins looks very healthy
You don’t always see movement that’s far along
I just had eggs look like tiny clots and these babies hatched today
Healthy veins equals life
If that baby dies those veins will be gone in less then 24 hours and the egg will turn yellowish
I’ll show you...
