   Congrats!! you planning on keeping them all?

I wish I could. I'm only keeping 3 lol so far. I was only keeping two but that changed quickly.

Guess what! Out of the five 4 had hatched but one died. One I thought was going to die actually made it and is going strong. And the last one has pipped externally 3 hours ago. So hopefully one more baby coming. Will post a photo as soon as the last one arrives. Thanks all for your caring.

Oh I'm so glad I popped in here-- those are Cheese's babies? So stinking cute. Absolutely adorable! Congrats! Those 2 in the back are going to grow into beautiful ducks, and that one tilting his head to look at you- precious. That one will have a personality. So cute.

No not these ones. This on is though

its Cheese's first baby. There's another one on the way but I'm not sure I will be able to stay up much longer.

Sadly I think holy duck died. It seems like it hit a blood vessel while trying to externally pip and that killed it. I feel no movement or anything. I've had a lot die that way this hatch. Like 6 eggs and I'm not sure why.

My latest three... Cheese's first egg is getting ready to hatch and I will hopefully get to see it before I go to bed tonight.

Beautiful little duckies!

What a sweetie!

I don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but I ended up bringing some eggs home because my boss wanted all the broodies broken because there was a coyote lurking about.

I've had:
2 leakers
1 exploder
and 4 babies working on internally pipping!

Not to mention 2 or 3 that are still in early stages.

Thrilled, especially since I got my hours cut back due to customer cancellations. Our county is mostly Navy and government contractors. Nobody wants to spend money if they don't know when the next paycheck is coming, so I'm an early civilian casualty. I'm now only working two days a week. At least I might have sweet little fuzzies to ease the pain.
