Maybe not
Maybe just still trying to pip. I really thought that about one of the Cayuga s but it wasn't.

I'll take that positive vote!

It sure is! And already so fluffy! But mama duck is peed off. . so I'm done messing with her for the night. She is doing a great job without me. There is one more external pip out there and the other three are internally pipped now. I just let her stand there and bite me while I looked lol. Maybe once she sees I'm giving them back to her she will chill out some.

That is so awesome... I am so excited for you and Sophie. She's a fantastic momma ..
I hope she settles down with you soon. and I bet she will.

I'm telling you all if Sofie had teeth I wouldn't have any fingers left. But if she is going to be this great of a brood y I want her to get used to me being involved so the babies won't hate people.
