    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    Okay, I have some more, but I have yet to edit them down to a upload-able size. I will try to update again in the next few days and get up-to-date to the six month mark, but I hope that this will be sufficient for now!! There hasn't been a lot of visual change to him since the most recent ones...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    5 weeks old Getting nearly full sized now, and not many scruffy fuzzy baby-down feathers left! The super proud stance and long fine goose-like neck make for a handsome duckie indeed! I especially like that Aussie Wood Ducks have such small cute beaks, but it still hurts when he bites with it...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    34 days old First real bath! As in, first time in water so deep he couldn't stand up in it at all. Basil is still not fond of overly deep water (Australian Wood Ducks are grazing grass-ducks, like geese, rather than diving ducks like another local the Pacific Black) and only likes having...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    32 Days Old; just over a month! They sure grow fast! So scruffyyyyyyyy! The beginnings of the darker head feathers coming through out of the baby-grey fuzz. Itchy bubby always preening! Definitely not camera shy though! And another "in hands" comparison. I tried to...

    Okay, to cut down a little bit on how long these updates take me to do, and subsequently to try and ensure I make them more frequently by feeling less daunted by the task, I'm going to forgo my formatting efforts from my earlier posts and just sort of clump them together... I hope that's okay...

    Thank you so much Sumi! I'm sorry for my confusion, I just wasn't sure if perhaps because of my absence the thread had to be shut or something, I'm really sorry for not understanding that. I certainly understand about there being lots of threads, haha, I read so many while I was incubating Basil...

    Also, doing a quick read-through of all the posts since I was last online here (yes, I didn't even access the website for months, as I said, I was really busy and basically not on the computer!) But I should update on the major points... I am fine! Car crash was dealt with, nobody was hurt...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    Ahhhhh... This is embarrassing. I could go on making a whole heap of excuses as to why I haven't posted here for so long (has it been months? It has..), but it would all boil down to the fact that I basically haven't even had the time to get on the computer much these past few months. With my...

    Hahaha! I'm obviously a vegemite fan and could really go for a soft sandwich of it right now, except its dinner time and I'm making pasta instead. just wanted to check in and say there wont be pictures tonight like I hoped, we were in a minor car crash today- nobody hurt, but a huge waste of...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    26 days old Many walkies in the garden! Because Basil has completely destroyed our lettuce crop, now we take him further out and around the garden looking for weeds and grasses that he will like. He's quite fussy, but hopefully that means he's only eating things that are nice and good for...

    New Australian Hatching Mystery Egg at Home

    22 days old: Weight approx. 360grams You can see here how his feathers first looked when they were coming through his baby fluffy fuzz! They came through with stark turquoise coloured pin-shafts, the same colour as his legs. He was so dusty and itchy, poor baby! 23 days old: Look...
