DUCKS!!!

Our ducks started hatching on Easter Sunday!  Beastie (a Mallard duck) and Bruiser (a Pekin Duck) made their appearance that day.  It was long and exhausting for them it took all of them about three to four hours to fully come out of their shell (I recorded a small video).  The others pipped (to crack or chip a hole through (the shell), as a young bird) but didn't actually make their grand entrance until April 6th.  Each duck had to then spend between eight to twelve hours in the incubator to dry and regain their strength.   All are doing well.  So far it looks like our class family has three Pekin ducks, one Mallard, and two Runners!  You will see that some of them are already taking to the water.  I can't wait for you all to see them.  I know you will thoroughly enjoy playing with them!  Stay tuned for more pictures and videos.
