That little slice of yellow fluff is a duckling! Today is the day they were due to hatch so I opened up Mama Black Hen's box and .... ta da!! I have at least one little yellow pekin duck. But Mama Black Hen is grumpy. I would be too after sitting there for more than a month (duck eggs take 28 days instead of 21 for hen eggs). She growled at me and fluffed herself up all protective like. I don't like hen pecks so I left her be. I wonder what she'll think when her offspring jumps in the water dish?
I swear it really is a duckling. See the little orange foot? Lets hope for more than one! Now, "Sweetie? About that duck pen. It's getting just a little more urgent!"
