Aww! Did that one hatch without assistance? That’s one of the white right?
How many eggs are left?

No assistance! Yes, it was one of the whites. 8 more to go!

That’s great! Hope the other 8 hatch safely!

Well, we ended up with 8 healthy, happy little babies! 3 whites, 3 magpies, 2 mag/white crosses, and 1 happy little black east indie!

There's one little lady that's struggling a bit--she's a beautiful magpie/black indie cross, but she appears to be blind in both eyes and has a bit of wry neck. She's been fighting so well for 2 days now and seems very strong, so here's hoping she recovers

Here's some pictures of the mags and whites! They went on a little adventure to a local fair while waiting on their last two siblings to hatch--they all really loved the sun! I'll upload the little east indie in a moment!

Congrats! I really hope the little sweetie that’s struggling makes it! I had one call last hatch that I was skeptical about at first but he exceeded all my expectations and is doing great now! He couldn’t hold his head up for around 24 hours and wouldn’t walk and he possibly has a form of dwarfism (he is very small and growing slowly). He is 5 weeks old and acts just as mischievous as the others! It amazes me how resilient ducklings are!
