I'm so excited! My velociraptor of a broody is sitting on duck eggs, and it's hatch time! They're due tomorrow or Thursday, but I have three pips and at least another cheep!

I have a bit the opposite problem...I'm going to be quacking nuts this month!
I ordered from Holderreads.
Then I get a broody, who's sitting on eleven duck eggs.
Then someone responded to my craigslist ad for rehoming Easter animals.
I'm going from three to more than twenty ducks in just four...
