is finally a mom. Or at least she laid the eggs that my friend Jane put in the incubator to hatch. Sally doesn't want to be tied down with motherhood. She wants to run around with the boys and have a good time with no commitments. The little black one in front just hatched and still has pieces of his shell on him. The little brown one in back hatched night before last. There are still more eggs that are due to hatch later. Hopefully the little ducklings will not be mad at Sally for not wanting to be a mom.
Edited to add: The ducklings are in a box with a light right now. They will stay there for a few weeks till they are big and strong enough to go in the teen dorm outside. By then the 3 teenage chicks and 3 teen gosling's will be big enough to go to the big pens. They are fed unmedicated start and grow. A feed made for newborn ducks and turkeys. They are eating fine and doing well for those of you that ask. Will wait to name them when I find out their sex.
