One of our eggs started hatching this morning. You can see the hole in the side where the duckling has started pecking it's way out.
We have just welcomed our first duckling and 4 eggs which are ready to hatch! Daffy has settled in well and is looking forward to meeting her brother and sisters!
Look how pretty Daffy is!
Daffy loves a cuddle!! In the wild she would be sitting underneath her mother duck - so she thinks Lorraine's warm jacket makes a lovely place to snuggle!
Lorraine has a new desk buddy helping her in the Office!
At 1.40pm today our first Duckling hatched. He is called Ashton! He has to stay in the warm incubator for 3 hours until he is fully dried and fluffy. He can then join Daffy in the main pen. A second egg no 1 (next to Ashton) has a small crack in it, so that duckling will be hatching soon.
We have 4 duck eggs which are waiting to hatch. They should hatch on Wednesday. Watch this space for video of them hatching!!
