Ducklings!

Our ducks eggs in the incubator began to hatch.  We learnt that duck eggs take a lot longer than hens eggs to actually hatch.


Our first duckling hatched on Thursday, a little yellow runner duck.


Closely followed by our second the same evening.  Here they are in a broader box which the students helped to make.

It was sunny and warm at the weekend so we let the suckling have a bit of an explore outside.

We discovered the reason they are called 'runner ducks' as they darted about the garden amazingly quickly for something a couple of days old.


Our last little duckling to hatch, two days after the others.
