Lesley Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Mindy has hatched three of her eggs - one still to go. 28 days exactly! I only went out to change their pond water and spied a tiny movement in the corner I opened the hatch to find - 3 ducklings and one egg still to hatch - hopefully. They are so cute and fluffy!

Lesley Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yes, really! Ducks are really messy and we only wanted to keep 2, we weren't planning on breeding from the ducks - just eggs and not many of those because we don't like them.
