Happy news. I decided to do one more candle before her eggs hatch because I now know they are close because the duckling that passed gave some insight. I candled two and I couldn't see an aircell. Put the eggs up to my ear and heard clicking. Her eggs are close to hatch...got to sit on my hands now. Her other two eggs haven't pipped yet but im hoping they are late bloomers.


Im so excited!

the peices are coming together. She started with 7 eggs. One got squished. One went missing. And mom killed three as they were hatching. She is 1st timer and didnt know what to do. So i made a huge decision. I took her eggs and put them under a broody hen. She has two ex pipped ducklings who were getting squished last night we had 3 and today we have 2. I dont know if this was right but mom was squishing them as they were hatching. The death scene was the same. No shell just squished duck in membrane. I am praying the hen will save the babies

Good lord, that's aweful, she wasn't paying attention to the noise, once they make noise, momma duck is suppose to get her weight off of them. OUCH, OMG maybe she can't hear?? LOL
