Hatch Day

The ducklings are hatching!

The first one hatched late this afternoon and was followed shortly after by another. A third is trying to break free at the moment.

The freshly hatched one is not cute by any means yet but by tomorrow should be a bit fluffed out and able to stand.

The other shot shows duckling no2 and just how tightly curled they are in the shell prior to hatch, the bill chips away at the egg until they can wiggle enough to get their leg stretching to finally break free. It takes hours, days even. Hatching is hard work!

The Bros are hyper!
