I know right, lol. It was so cold last night, I was worried. As of this morning I saw a fuzzy butt!!!

Aww bless
Looks very familiar -

Three fuzzy butts as of now. Mama is doing a beautiful job with them. Much more calm now that I see all is going well.

Really pleased for you; it's only 4 weeks ago I was in same boat as you - and I've been smiling since

I'd free the next few days up so you can enjoy them as much as possible; win them over with worms now and you'll have little lapdogs before you know it!

I've been talking and singing to them in their eggs this whole time. When I check on them and talk, they try to peek out from under mom. She is very tolerant of me thankfully

Makes things a lot easier when mum trusts you, though don't expect mother of the year once she's off the nest with them!
I think the friendlier and more secure the mum - the less they worry about the babies past the first couple of days. Mine still worries in her own way but it's not obvious to look at sometimes!

We've got five out now. The other two have their beaks out the hole, but nothing else yet, lol. One is completely yellow, it must be one of my kc's eggs. Same mallard donor though, lol. Time shall tell.
