Soooo excited we have our first ever egg starting to hatch.
Our little Peking bantam has been sat on 5 duck eggs for 27days and tonight there is the beginning of a crack in the shell of one egg.
I have read all I can find but really could do with more to read on what happens in the hatch and when they might need assistance.
We have had day old chicks and ducklings before so ok once they are hatched but the getting out if the egg and 1st 24hrs are unknown territory. Advice and suggested reading matter much appreciated.
