Well the first egg has started wobbling so only a few more days to go!  Officailly due on Sat so will have to see if any decide to make an early appearence.

I'm getting quite excited now. Probably a good job I am at work or I would just be sat watching the incubator and with 4 days to go that could get a little tedious!!!
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

 :D :D :D I can't wait for Pics  :D

I'm resisting putting Bumble babies under Eve at the moment - it's ever so hard when she really wants to sit and I know that the duck eggs are all fertile!

Have a strong feeling that I'll be having ducklings before the weekend. There are quite a few that have already internally pipped and one had externally pipped!

It's a good job I'm a bit paranoid and have everything ready well in advance as they are not due for 4 days. Had hoped that this early hatching had been sorted when I recalibrated the temp on the incubator but obviously not. A couple look like they are not ready to hatch for a while but will Auvergne to wait and see ...

Ah, patience. Not my strongest point.

Well they're here!!!

So far 10 out ans fluffing up nicely. 3 more on their way out and 2 seemed to have died in shell a couple of days ago.

So far I have 7 black and white ones and 3 grey ones and think it will end up 9 to 4 in the end. Will post more pics as they fluff up. Here are the first 3 to fluff up although you can't really see the black and white one.



All I need to do now is hope for lots of girls.

They are soooooooo beautiful.  My sister would like a couple more ducks to go with her cheeky Aylesburys.  Do you have any recommendations?

I have just spent the best past of an hour trying to get a pic of my black and white cat on the black and white Jacob sheepskin with one of the black and white ducklings but the cat is too scared to go near the duckling.

Seriously.

He is the wettest cat in the world.

I mean they are 2 day old ducklings!
