In Reply to: Re: abandoned eggs are hatching posted by aflacsmom on October 16, 2002 at 09:18:23:
:::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.
::One baby died, and the first one is still alive I am hearing chirping from one more egg and hopeing to hear more. There was fourteen eggs all together. I have noticed that the first ones yolk has gone down considerably. When should I try to feed this baby. Alhtough this one lived I am very hesitant to help any others to hatch out. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

:I realize that I may not be much help, but I will tell you what I know. We have two Pekin ducks that we got when they were about a week old. We kept them under a heat lamp in a rubbermaid with straw. They eat chicken scratch from your local feed store. Make sure that you also get them a water dish and put rocks in it so they don't drown. Your first baby needs to be fed soon. Hope this helps.
