    its been three days since the two eggs hatched. TreeTrunks isn't sitting any more on the other eggs though. Does that mean she's done and happy with these litttle fluff butts?

    Still only two little fluff butts. TreeTrunks pushed one egg out of the nest. I checked on the remaining six and they were a little on the cold side. I candled them and I see an air sack, but no movement or cheeping like the other two. She is still sitting on them, but taking longer breaks. It...

    Well, much to my disliking, I had to leave town for the past few days. I returned this afternoon and found two fluffy surprises! TreeTrunks is still sitting, but these two are curious little peepers.

    Patient Hat is on. I've read too many horror stories about people "helping" them hatch. My hands will be in my pockets. Bring on the ducklings!!!

    I ABOUT NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK! I was candling them and I heard a little peep. So I stuck my ear up to it and I can hear it chipping at the shell. It's like touching a pregnant lady's belly and feeling the kick- without being awkward. OMG THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING THING. Some of the larger eggs...

    Maybe that's why she was off a lot today; the weather was rather warm. I felt like everytime I went outside she was off the nest. Gah. she's driving me insane. Making me worry, but I know that mama knows best. I hope.

    So when the eggs are ready to hatch, will mama keep sitting on them or will she get off the nest?

    I wish I could keep them all. I'll try and sell them through craigslist and our feed store pin board.I'm going to be real picky about who they go to. Hopefully they hatch after Easter and I don't have to worry about impulse buys. I won't sell just a single duckling, unless they have other...

    Yes! we are still alive, despite the lack of posts. The adventure ducks are pushing two years this summer! I distracted mama with some treats just long enough to take a peak. Nine eggs! Hopefully soon to be mama, TreeTrunks All three mallards!

    My TreeTrunks is at it again. Usually she gives up on sitting, but I think she's determined this time. I'm just glad she choose a safe spot, unlike the passed few attempts. Because I didn't think she'd stick to sitting, I didn't bother to count or mark any dates.I do know that when I went out...
