How many will hatch?!

[Crayonsmom]

So, this is my first attempt at incubation. 8 days ago I put 3 duck eggs in the bator. Since then I think the ducks have started eating their eggs, so we haven't gotten any more.

BUT, on the bright side the 3 that I do have are looking good so far! We did have a temperature flucuation the other day, but got it fixed asap and I'm hoping they're all ok.

I thought it would be fun if we guess how many will hatch! Be as morbid as you want, but I'm going to go ahead and say all 3 will hatch.

I'm going to try to take some candling pictures later today so we can make sure they're even still alive. But from looking at pictures online, I think they are.

So, what do you think?

I just thought maybe I should update this thread. on April 15, 3 little ducklings came out of their eggs within a couple of hours, one after another.

Meet (from left to right) Socks (or Dave, in my little brother's opinion), Siggi, and Scuttle.

Socks/Dave has a silly underbite.

Thanks.

I have to admit, I've been posting them all over the place. I'm just so darn excited about my first hatch!
