I did not realize. I can't believe how friendly they are.
They climb all over my legs and snuggle into me.. they start screaming when I leave.

Indeed, that is what happens when you imprint them. They believe you are their mommy and do not want you to abandon them.

What is this? A single snowflake?

What is this? A single snowflake?

An ice crystal formed by the freezing of the moisture that was in the air.

First time helping a duckling. It's 48 hours after hatch time and this one had movement when I was doing egg-topsies. The egg shell membrane was stuck the the membrane so I had to use a sterile knitting needle and an 18 gauge to get to his bill and get it out. I had to peel a lot of the shell and outer (egg shell) membrane off

I about passed out from holding my breath

There's a lot of yolk left, but this thing is a fighter. It's not giving up and definitely has strength left especially now that it can breathe.

Husband said I can keep it if it makes it and he named it lucky
