So Very Cool...for all three of you!!! I was so upset for you and Wilma when you thought the egg was dead. What a happy day! Have you thought about names yet?

 

[DuckFanatic]

Yeah I was thinking Pebbles for a girl and Bang- Bang! for a boy

 

[DuckFanatic]

I have a few questions.... First, Pebbles still has her umbilical cord but it's dried up and blackish. Is it normal that she still has it? Should it be fallen off by tomorrow morning? When will she need to eat and drink? I have a duckling/chick waterer... I also have some more cute pictures of her all fluffed up that I can upload tommorow. I'm so happy she's finally here

She still has her umbilical cord on... is that normal??

 

[DuckFanatic]

Anyone?

 

[Wifezilla]

It can take a while for it to fall off.

 

[DuckFanatic]

Thanks I just wanted to be sure

It doesn't allow them to relieve themselves though, does it?

 

[Wifezilla]

??? huh???

 

[DuckFanatic]

Heh, like they can't go poo...

 

[DuckFanatic]

Wow, i'm smart. That's their belly button that the umbilical cord is attached to.. doh! Wow....
