The eggs have hatched! We now have 7 new baby ducks with at least one more in the process of hatching right now. The four newest ducks hatched in the middle of the night while EggHatchingCam was offline recharging so I didnt stream it or get any video of them hatching.
The one egg in the incubator that is in the process of hatching should be all the way out in another hour or so. The four eggs that havent done anything yet probably won't but I'll give them another 24 hours just to make sure. However 8 out of 12 eggs hatched! Thats a 66.6% hatch rate which is pretty good for my first attempt.
I have setup a BabyDuckCam for the new babies!
I will leave EggHatchingCam up for another day or so to see if anything else happens.
You can see the new Baby Ducks live on our our Mean Rooster Farm LIVE! channel. Be sure to follow it.
Make sure to stop by from time to time. You never know what the animals will be up to. I saw a rat running around in the barn at about 10:00 pm just the other night.
An Eagle has been stalking our chickens for the last few days. I don't want to lose any of our birds to predators but a video of an Eagle snatching one of our chickens.. How cool would that be?! Not something you see every day.
And Duck Sex. How many of you can say you have ever seen ducks getting it on? Sex in a pond no less.
