It’s update time (6)

Since the ducklings have been having egg-tooth-problems, I’ve decided the rest of the eggs will all be getting safety holes EARLY as a precaution.

@ElfenLied89 and @Antiocheggers Quack Sparrow was given a safety hole, but they clearly didn’t needed it, because they pipped on their own around 18 hours later They were crazy active throughout the entire lockdown - I can’t count the number of times they rocked and turned away from the front, and I had to turn them back Around hour 28, they begun to zip, but got stuck half way. They panicked, and somehow got their foot over their head I finished the zip for them, and they are just gorgeous! Very similar in color to Laffy. No crest, though I’ve given them the name Lemon Drop, but I will never forget that they were Quack Sparrow!

Sweet baby right after I got their head out

And after drying off

Lemon size check with Laffy the Behemoth

And Lemon not quite sure how this duck-piling thing works

I currently have Lemon sectioned off in the brooder box with Guava, as I’m concerned with their size they will be squashed. Everyone can still see each other, though.

*Edit to add Lemon’s drawing

As for our final eggs,

@2ndTink Quacker Jack finally showed me some clear movement No more scares today, haha

@Sally PB Lincoln is pretty dark, so I can’t really see what’s going on, but still, they look just fine

@Luv Ducks I didn't have to look at Tinker Bell for very long, as I could see her moving about right as I candled

@tlcmurphy Egg 31 didn’t show any movement, but they did have a few spots with veining, so I’m sure they’re doing great

@GreenJay Lucky Duck is also very dark and not letting me see much, but that’s okay. They still look great

5 more eggs, we’re in the final stretch! May they all hatch! The next update will be on Friday, February 9th
