I’m already a grand mom

I can't wait

Thank you! All of my twenty-eight adults have names. Still trying to come up with two more for my cross breed ducklings. I’m running dry.

Did you hatch them?

Should I start a "Cutest Webs of 2019" contest?

Here's a couple links from past contests:

How long do I let them sit to get to room temp?

Instead of using a book I came up with this: It’s the top part of the carton cut in half.View attachment 1724007

And then there is me, who has more eggs than she has space, stacking them precariously. -_-

And it's not waiting for them to produce enough, it's waiting for another batch to hatch to free up more incubator space. My life is filled to the brim with duck eggs.

I love your little Appleyard Duckling.
I’m hoping that this one Appleyard / Saxony cross duckling that just hatched will have several siblings this week.
