Egg Hatching Update!!
 
Saturday was the 24th day of incubating for our eggs (31 for our duck eggs). The earliest I expected to have any activity of the hatching kind was Wednesday. Imagine my surprise when I noticed one of the duck eggs was starting to "pipe," the process of the bird pecking a hole in the egg. Sunday when I went back to check all the eggs, this egg was peeping and moving and is currently halfway through the hatching process. Soooo, by Monday afternoon at the latest, we should have one of our baby birds out of its egg.
The video above shows the duck pushing against the shell and making lots of noise doing that. Stay tuned for more video as the week proceeds!
