2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

I can't wait 'till Sunday or Monday! Pinball has not left her nest since yesterday morning. I'm sure she can feel the babies sloshing around in their egg-shells. - How long can a duck survive without drinking or eating? Offered her some meal-worms and water and was just ignored. She is in lockdown-trance, today is day 24…

Will you have duck cam recording the hatch?

I will have the camera pointing at the broody, but you won't see them hatching, as this will all happen under the duck - i hope!
Nevertheless, ducks count different than humons: Today is day 25 and the first three ducklings have pipped externally and are peeping:

Congratulations!! Your Duck Math seems to have progressed quite well! One year ago today my flock was born, sexed and shipped across country. Their offspring are approaching their one month birthday tomorrow. I am trying to be restrained in my flock growth because we are considering moving out of state soon.

Hmmmm where are you considering moving?

@Magnolia Ducks Hmmmm where are you considering moving?

The closest one is next door, onto the Oregon coast and the other is near the Fort Sam Houston & Lackland Air Force Base medical complex in San Antonio. I could be more content in either location.

I was about to ask the same question!
@SailorNoMore - West Virginia is a nice place, not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter and not as much rain as in the PNW…

Right, most of the time Texas is a nice place and everything is bigger there, including on some rare occasions - the weather!
I will never forget the 2010 drought, the tropical thunderstorms and Harvey…

2010 we almost burned up. Literally.

Yup! Bastrop fire! - Has the forest there bounced back within the last 10 years?
