Redwing Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Unfortunately my incubator failed in the night trapping pipped ducklings in their shells, I felt I had to intervene (something I wouldnt normally recommend) and I couldnt resist getting these pics which show how large ducklings are for the egg, amazing really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstie Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Gorgeous x How many did you have to help out? And how did it go? They look good x and amazed to be in the world! I had to help a chick out on my first hatch (my only hatch so far ) which was the scariest thing I have ever done esp as it involved quite a bit of blood from the naval but luckily for me it was fine! hope it went ok xx Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Awww - they are huge, aren't they! I love the picture of one still all folded up in the eggshell; I'd never thought about how large they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Ducklings are so cute, beautiful I had to help a chick out this year and and soon as she lay in my hand and I looked back at the egg I just couldn't see how she managed to fit in...I suppose its a bit like looking at a baby and marvelling how it managed to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madchook Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 When I hatched runners this year I thought the same, they are huge! -but amazingly one of mine hatched and went head first into its brother's shell and got stuck. Very comical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
