YEAHHHHHHHH !!!! I have been following this thread. I am soooo happy for you - PLEEASE let us know.

I will definitely post pictures when the little quacker comes out

I just went out to check up on them and I have both exciting and bad news!
So, bad news first: I attempted too put the two eggs I just got, under my usually broody cochin, with no luck

She wanted nothing to do with it and scrambled away. So... I can't keep the two eggs under Wilma because when her little duckling hatches, she needs to dedicate all of her time to the one that has already hatched... I don't know what to with those two eggs now... I don't have a 'bator or another broody... and the eggs aren't developed yet so I might just have to toss them?

Good news!: I am almost positive I heard the egg peeping! I don't think it could have been Wilma because while I heard the peeping she was "hissing" at me

Shouldn't be long now!

Try putting the eggs under the hen at night or after she is asleep. she should be much more receptive.

Thanks, Mystic

I will definitely try that but not tonight because I already put them to bed for the night

No new updates with the egg that I know of, because Wilma is covering it

I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a pip tomorrow morning. Maybe even a zip!

We've got a pipper!!!! (S)he has pipped!!!!!!

Edited to say: how much longer until I should expect a hatched duckling?

I know it depends but around how long does it vary? Thanks, and I am soooo psyched!

No one wants to share my excitement with me?
