Help the abandoned eggs are now trying to hatch I helped one out and it was very weak. Another has a small hole broke through its shell and it chirps at me when I am near it. The one I helped is weak and hasnt moved much except to chirp when I am near its make shift incubator [a tupperware dish with a lamp on it.] Are they normally weak when they hatch? I am keeping it as warm as possible till my husband gets off work and can bring home a heat lamp. When should I expect it to gain some strenghth? Stand up? Eat? Should I help the other duckling out of its egg too? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
