8 babies have hatched so far! That leaves about 6 eggs left to hatch if they do.

One baby passed away. It wasn't very active earlier so I was a little worried. But 7 is still good so far.

Sorry for your loss.

They stopped sitting on the rest of their eggs sometime in the middle of the night or this morning. I doubt I got the eggs in time to save them but I did pop a few into the incubator. Regardless, I have 7 ducklings right now

Yay!

3 of the 6 abandoned eggs went into the incubator this morning and a few minutes ago they still had veins! And I think I saw movement in at least 2 of them. I'm so hopeful they are still alive and might just be a few days behind.
