Mine followed me up the porch, which he never does, I decided to let him "meet" one his ducklings (I held the baby in my hands). Once he heard it peep, he kind of went into attack mode towards our dog. He didn't see it but every time he heard it peep he snapped back into it. ??

Watching all of this happening has made the disease progress from the "I'm not ever going to hatch" stage, to the "Hmm, I might be able to do that", to "Wow, maybe next year I'll give it a try!".

I hope you're proud of yourselves!

Your in the "TTCMS". which stands for Trying To Convince Myself Stage" Your already passed the Denial stage, so your basically in stage two. The now there's only two stages there before the disease kicks in, so get prepared, You'll know when the disease has enter because you'll be in the GTSHD. which is Got To Start Hatching Disease, and from there it goes into the Hatching disease blah blah blah, The last part of the disease and at this point you might as well give up. Is the CSHD, Can't Stop Hatching Disease. your pretty much gone from there. There's absolutely NOTHING you can do except to keep HATCHING. LOL

I am proud but I didn't give you the disease! You still have time to run, your only in the stages before the disease kicks in so your still have time to escape from all of it.. LOL BUt I will not hold my breath that you will success, HAHAHAHAHAHA

Mine will hang out with the female more and less with the babies. The babies are just there for Momma.
