I'm new to BYC

[Eag133]

Hi
My name is Erica and I'm new here.
In May my husband brought home 3 duck eggs and 3 chicken eggs from a co-worker. I didn't realize the chicken eggs were probably fertile and my hubby ate them ... I stole the duck eggs!
I grabbed a 2 gallon tank, a reptile heat lamp and hygrometer, a finger bowl of water and set the eggs. 2 were duds... 1 is a very loved 6 week old duckling.

Now I am incubating 3 chicken eggs and 2 more ducks! I'm very excited to learn and share.
