Ok so decided to incubate a few more eggs to give little yellow some friends first up to hatch looks like a Rouen.. go figure.. the hen is laying on a clutch of eggs now.. I figure when they hatch I'll have a rainbow of ducks.. LOL I'll have to get a shot of it once it's done fluffing up..

Thanks.. :) I think I'm only going to have six.. :*( the last three look like duds as no activity and they should have pipped yesterday but going to give them till tomorrow.. Better rate than last time when I had none hatch... still hoping to have some girls in the bator they look like...
Here they are a bit more fluffed out. The ones still in the incubator are looking darker but they're wet still.. these three in the brooder are nice and fluffed now and I think are all boys :)
