Today, duck eggs came to live on our farm. With any luck, in the next month or so, we'll have added ducks to our farm!
I'm going to blog our duck adventures as a means of actually keeping track of what happens.
We took possession of the eggs at 3pm. Of course, the first thing we did was number and candle the eggs to see if we could see anything. By my very inexpert judgement, these are pretty young duck embryos. We think we saw some veining. We definitely saw air sacs.
We put the nest inside a dog kennel and put it outside on the back patio a few hours later.
At night, I put the heat lamp on the nest and turned them so the numbered side is facing down.
Good night duck eggs!
