My chocolate 'scovy FINALLY hatched out her eggs!

39 DAYS after I let her set!

Eight ducklings, total...

1 chocolate
1 blue
6 blue fawn

AND YES--that water WAS clean like 2 minutes earlier! LOL

Cash, keeping a close eye on them!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh sooooooooooooooooo cute!!! I have some 'scovies setting now. I can't WAIT for the hatch.

I love the dog in the background of the last one. He's looking at them like they're snacks.

LOL 'scovies are my favorite breed of duck...they are super-sweet, very hardy, QUIET and funny!

Cash is my LGD and he wouldn't hurt anything except bees & coyotes!

I was kidding about Cash. But bees? Don't the bees hurt him?

my dogs eat bees - they hate bumble bees and will go crazy to catch them - doesn't seem to bother them except a sting in the cheek but obviously mine aren't allergic.

Scovies are so cute - my 4 I have left are getting big and are little adolescents now and not babies. *sigh* I want more babies - lol. I guess I have to settle for chickies

A few years ago, we had him locked in the kennel during our wedding and we did not realize there was a wasp's nest the railroad tie next to the kennel. Brodee (the Borzoi) managed to climb out but poor Cash couldn't. When we got home, his head/face was so swollen he looked like a pot belly pig! He could barely breathe and we had to give him Benadryl. Ever since, if you say the word "Bees" or you make a BUZZZZZZ sound, he flips out. It's like he's got PTSD!

They just take forever, though! I was going to give her a few more days and then I was going to throw those out. I gave her 10 eggs and the other two pipped but died in the shell.
