He's pretty cute! I guess I can start to assume I'll have a couple ducks now.

I'd say so!
You did it!

Do y'all think I Will be able to slip it back under Sofie when it comes out?

I hope so.

Not yet... they were anxious enough by just the sounds of the roosters and dogs running around ... they freaked and scrambled up in my lap when an airplane flew over ... they settled quickly... then it was funny...

Well, since we're talking cute babies, I think I have settled on Bianca and Squirt as names for this duo. These 2 were ones I kept from my incubator hatch, just in case Lexi didn't hatch any, I thought maybe she'd accept them. Not!
But they seem to be ok with just each other for now.

So. . I think it was more just belly bulge I was seeing than yolk.. . it was determined to get out of that egg. . it had a foot out and pushed itself up where I could see the belly. It wouldn't calm down so I wrapped it in a soft towel and held it for about the last 45 minutes or so and it calmed down and slept. It's navel looked pretty much closed so was able to slip it under Sofie without issue. Hopefully it will be fine in The morning!
