Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[Fields Mountain Farm]

They are bigger than this now. They are doing great. It’s crazy how differently they act towards you when you hatch them and they see you first.

It's out!!
I helped it along. . when I got here it had turned and started to zip.. There wasn't a question if it needed help. .it was screaming at the top of its lungs! Is it normal for duck membrane to be tough as rubber? The outer membrane on all of these was super tough!
Anyway. . I got the cap off and left it to rest.

Just when it looked like it was going to push out . . I thought hey I'll video it. . I was trying to turn off the flash when it suddenly flipped out and sprang out of there like a ninja! Lmao! I'll upload it in a minute. . if you listen closely you'll hear me mumble .. oh crap. .

I'm currently duckless. Therefore jealous. Hopefully not for long.

I would share if you lived closer!

Waiting is the hardest!
