lol... yes, she is... I don't mind the itty bitty baby bites, but she has a 'dog head shaking' bite that gets a bit rough...

She is a feisty lil teensy. Does her bill already have the serrated upper? I can only imagine it would smart when she does the head shake thing. It would be cute to give her something silly and small to shake like a dog does.

She only grabs with the tip of her bill... but it does have a bit of a hook at the top, lol... so far, she prefers to grab and shake skin...

ceasargirl I am day 27 I noticed on one of my eggs like a little indentation, I'm guessing its the duck starting to pip, its on one of the eggs I didn't think was good. How long do u think it will take to hatch? Monday 11/30 will be 28 days and 12/1 will be 29, I am very excited, i hope they don't have any problems. Thank u

@anniepoo9I've had some take 26+ hours! Especially when it looks like one is starting early! Keeps your humidity and temps stable, although humidity will rise as eggs hatch. You might also start hearing peeps from eggs, I usually peep back!!! Do you have a brooder set up... Sounds like you might have babies soon!!! Very exciting!!

Yes have everything, I have a big clear plastic storage container and have pine flake for the bottom and a red light for heat and also containers for food and water.

Amazing at that size the grip strength she has. With her cute lil Call duck bill.
