Ducklings!

The turning on the incubator has been turned off (with a little bit of help from Alex, Cara, Lachlan, and Thomas arriving just at the right time), and now all we have to do it wait..... Sometimes that is the hardest thing to do, but we have plenty to keep us occupied as there is a lot to organise before our little babies arrive on Wednesday. 

Bring on Wednesday! =) 

Duckling update 🐣

Over the last few weeks, we have had the opportunity to candle our duckling eggs. We have been candling them to see if they are fertile and anything is growing inside. We were very excited to see bloody vessels in most eggs and have even seen a duckling inside one egg move! Here are a few pictures of the candling process. 

In some of the eggs, you can see a slight dark spot. That is the duckling that is starting to form 🐥🐣😊
