@sarah34818lol

thats god communicating with nature saying "come on you sona bitch get out of there!!!"

[vandoloskil]

Don't shake the poor thing. Leave it in the dang incubator! Lockdown!

[peuterschmidt]

Hi, my duck is due to hatch in about 10 days, what is best to feed it first?

[Cluckky]

@peuterschmidt try feeding them cheerios

[0coolie0]

dont hold it while its hatching it is dangerous for the duck, it could die if out of the incubator for too long!

[sentai100]

kawaii lindo

[momokat14]

you fucking shook the egg, have you not heard never ever shake a baby? ass holes

[maarakailet1]

@momokat14 Um... birds aren't baby mammals.

[momokat14]

@maarakailet1 Doesn't matter, you never shake anything that tiny. They can't even hold their heads up when they are first born. Mammal or not. Never, ever shake a baby... anything.

[deicidalmaniac]

delicious lol..

[whhhhite]

don't shake it, you are rushing the process. the chick obviously wasn't ready to be hatched.

[kosibar]

@whhhhite A little "wiggling" like that won't hurt. That's mild compared to what often happens to eggs in a nest when the mother is sitting on them. What you should absolutely avoid is breaking away pieces of the shell or trying to help the duck reposition itself so that it can get out more easily. Its struggle to get out of the shell makes it stronger and better prepared for life in a shell-free world.

[Zeldafreak007]

Where did you get them?

[kosibar]

@Zeldafreak007 My eggs all came from my own ducks. Most of my ducks were purchased at Agway or I hatched them.

[scooter1050]

I NEED HELP: okay they were 2 ducks

i thought they were both girls till.........

i have found a egg in my garden just one we thought the ducks might come back back they didn't. 3-4 days later i have the egg in a little nest and i have a light shining over it! what do i do next????? HELP!!!! PLEASE

[kosibar]

I responded to your duplicate of this post on my "Baby Pekin Ducks" video.

[materialbo]

If my the stable ducks slip, they always run away from mummy and I must catch the poor ones.

Sry for bad english. I am from Germany.

[xpartychickx]

omg im buin 2 chicks lmao i love them lmao i love them! 0.0

[whitehawk38]

is it bad if you help the bird break the shell? will it hurt him or her?

[kosibar]

Yes, it can be a problem for the bird. Breaking out of the shell is good exercise that helps the bird to build strength for survival in the real world. If you do the work for it then it won't build enough strength to be able to survive outside the shell. If it's too weak to hatch then it likely won't be strong enough to survive if you do help it out.

Sometimes it seems cruel to just watch the poor thing struggle but that's what's best for the bird.

[zipityd00da]

woah thts so cool :o

[fiebregol]

why do u number them.

[kosibar]

Mostly just for statistics. I keep track of where the eggs came from and when they were picked, the weather that day, etc. If I can't get my usual feed and I get a batch of bad eggs from the period with the substitute feed then I know not to buy that feed anymore, for example. I also have my ducks in two separate areas at the moment. If one bevy's eggs aren't hatching then I know to look for problems there.

[fiebregol]

thanks for telling me.

[mykylc]

This is fabulous!!!!!!!

[gerelds4]

We have a Pekin egg that hasn't hatched yet, but keeps cheeping inside of the egg!

My mom asks, "Who's making that noise?" XD

[eziad85]

amazing...

the living come out from the dead, and people say there is no god..

[Gorepwn]

@eziad85 religous retard plz get some education

[jchapman1994]

@Gorepwn Wt im tired of doucehs like you saying that religious people are stupid, how bout YOU go get some education on how not to judge people on things that you CANT prove.

[endimion17]

@eziad85 Dead? You think the duck inside an egg is dead? How can someone be so ignorant?

[mimel27]

where can u get duck eggs to hatch not online??

[Zeldafreak007]

@mimel27 Go to a local poultry or hobby farm. I got mine from a local hobby farm, check on a local classifieds such as craigslist.

[XfroggiesX]

I really want to hatch ducklings but my parents said no. Does anyone have any ideas on how to convince them? And Do you know what kind of cheap stuff i should buy?

Thanks!

[budgielover9]

um do you know how lol have you ever. do you know they need to be heat at 94 degres and what they eat? research

[misterfag01]

If your parents said no, because they think that u aren't responsible ennough, do some work around the house or do any thing that shows heavy responsibility. Do this for quite awhile (maybe a couple weeks) and then tell your parents, you think you are responsible enough to have a duck as a pet. OR just ask your parents waht you can do to convince them that you are responsible. that doesn't always work and I am not guaranteeing you this, but this is how I convince my parents.

[nuke1989]

OMG !!! Balut!!! i want to eat that balut!

[els0073]

Great Video, But I Dont Think It's Wise To Have Not 1 But 2 People At The Hacthing, As The First Thing The Duck See's Moving It Thinks That Is Ist's Mother.. So it will be confused. :S

Good vid anyway

[kosibar]

I don't think ducks, especially Pekin ducks, have such strong familial bonds. The ducks that I have hatched seem to be the most contented, least aggressive ducks I have. So if I've done anything wrong then I must have done enough right to overcome it.

I think the first thing this duck actually saw was me looking at it through the window of the incubator. I don't think it saw me as its mother, I think it thought it was watching TV.

[Muryum111]

i used to have a pekin duck, his name was Dawson he died the day after we got him a female gf, we cried and cried and cried. We were so close to him, he was like our best friend.

[poultrycrazy]

That's awefull :( Do you think the female had a sickness that may have caused his death? Once again sorry to hear that :(

[glconner]

When I was in forth grade One of the classes had chicks hatch,One healthy but the other could not get out,He had crippled legs D:

[disneylover696]

Omygosh! I kept a duck egg and it hatched. That baby duck was the best thing that ever happened to me!

[sofuhh]

You shouldn't have kept it out, duck eggs espically should be left in the incubator while they are hatching because they need a alot of humidity and the tempurature to stay constant.

[kosibar]

I didn't keep it out for very long. Actually, my healthiest, strongest ducks have been 13 and 25. There is a lot of conflicting information about best practices in hatching and raising ducks but experience has proven to me that ducks are quite flexible when it comes to temperature.

[txfam3]

Wow did you have to help it out of the shell? Just wondering if that is the reason it is out of the incubator/hatcher.

[kosibar]

No. The only time I helped a duck hatch is when I had one that hadn't properly developed part of its bill. It didn't survive but it had a few good days after the hatch.

I don't recall why I took it out but it was only out for a few minutes, it was in a warm room, and it has grown into a strong, happy, healthy duck.

[JSPutnam94]

yeah, you shouldn't have to help them out. if they can't get out they most likely aren't strong enough to live when they do come out.

[txfam3]

Well that is only true if you are not a novice at hatching and have the humidity high enough. That has been the only reason I have had to help any out when I first started hatching I could not get it right and had to help several get unstuck. They are all now happy healthy egg laying fools LOL also that being said if duck wasn't stuck it should not have been out, it is not so good for them to hatch in room temp. air. Thankfully it is a strong healthy duck now as stated above.

[kosibar]

I have an incubator and a brooder. The incubator has an egg turner. If a duck hatches in the incubator it could get stuck in the egg turner so they have to be moved before they're hatched. It was quite a while ago but I'm sure this video was taken in the move.

[jhoogveld]

Very nice video! ^_^

[duckkid67]

first to post yay!

cool hatch ling man
