trystinnSegunda, in all her loveliness:
Babs, our Black Swede, has three little look-alike ducklings to the avatar above. A few of her eggs are pipped, so I expect more ducklings soon.
Nera, the Rouen hen, has given up brooding again. *sigh* Hopefully, by the next time she broods again we'll have an incubator ready for them.
Sad news to report: Prima, our first little duckling from Rincewind, has passed away. She's pretty much ignoring the other two eggs, so chances aren't good for any more hatchings from her. We'll go ahead and keep Segunda if she is female, for the home flock egg business.
I'm struck at how different this is than breeding mammals who nurse their young. I provide water and food for the babies, making me something akin to a co-parent. :D
