Walked out this morning to find 3 Muscovy ducklings have hatched.
1 which hatched out in front of Panda & I.

Another had poked a hole before our eyes which was amazing to watch and then see these eggs jumping around in the nest along with little peeps.As of 9pm, there are 8 that have hatched out with one who appears to be still soaking wet.I think I saw 5 more eggs left ( a which few I could see did have the beginnings of a hatch) which also means i was kinda off on my egg count from before. 2 rotten eggs exploded today and another looks black as they did- which leaves 4 good white Muscovy eggs and 2 chicken eggs yet to hatch. Man it stinks in that shed! The egg exploded right in the nest which means I can not do anything till she is ready to move off the nest with her babies. Hopefully the morning will bring a nest full of babies all hatched out and healthy. Lots of colors in the batch. There is one who appears to be brown and yellow. 1 looks all yellow and a good amount have Clydes black markings.
I'll be sure to get a few good shots of proud mama and her babies on parade soon.
Sweet dreams,

Sweet babies!!! I love baby ducks probably better than baby chicks .. there is something about those flat little webbed feet!
very cool, we love babies of all kinds around here. i'll be interested to hear how the chicks turn out that were raised by ducks.
