➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Kiki]

I just woke up...like jumped up out of bed. Practically ran to the now duck room in almost a panic.


The babies were sleeping.
They weren't busting out of their shell.




I have ducklings!




Back to bed.

Good morning BYC!
They are all doing great! We still have our first pipper trying to escape. Once the others have fully fluffed up I’ll take a group picture.

Now back to catch up on sleep for me, the incubator next to me ready for the new one at any moment.

Don't be so fast... Food Court seems fitting as well. See right after Narco hatched how he wrapped around the feed circle and defended it? As in he was courting the food from birth!

Bunny update.

The one bunny that the dog had found (and most likely played with) has died. This was expected.

The other bunnies (including one that was 2 feet from the nest) all look to be alive and well in the nest and not in the exact same spot as before. There are definitely at least 3 of them, I think it's more like 4 or 5 but I'm not messing with the nest to find out.

I hope this means the mama came back last night and is lurking about and just hiding well since when I'm in the yard, the dogs are in the yard.

So for now, the plan is to let the living bunny beans be and try to keep my dogs away from that area of the yard.

Based on google image search I would estimate the bunnies to be about 2 weeks old. They are all fully fuzzy, can't really walk/hop, and their eyes don't really seem to be open yet. Definitely still dependent on mama and I don't think they could survive without her at this stage of life. I could probably hold them all in one hand. Maybe I can sneak a photo later depending how covered up the nest is.
