Re: An Egg!!
Well, the ducklings hatched out today (was thinking she may have got her foot caught in one of the roots, but seems incubation is 28 days !),
Excitement at work, everybody worried that they may fall off the ledge and quickly rise to the great nest in the sky. Lots of inventive suggestions. Came out tonight and looks like maintenance have moved the box to lower ground .. aren't some people lovely  Just hope those bloody magpies don't get 'em. Can't wait to see them in the morning .. sorta' got me feeling maternal. Hope you have another soon Junetta .. at least will be in safe hands when they hatch. x |

Re: An Egg!!
Good to hear there was a happy solution to your ducks Katex.
 Such a shame about your egg June. Hope there'll be another one and a successful birth eventually.

Re: An Egg!!
That's lovely Katex. Please get some pics when they start waddling about.
I've left the nest box in place and can only hope. Juanita is still spending most of her day in there, minus Ken egg. I'm off to England on Friday so 'im indoors is in charge for a couple of weeks. Maybe there might be an egg or two whilst I'm away. Fingers crossed!

Re: An Egg!!
Would appear that our new borns are now domiciled in the ex-wages office, complete with water and straw and being fed on 'bread!' .. no, no, no,please don't feed ducks bread
... there are 10 of 'em by the way. Not sure this is good for them, they surely need the water asap, would think. Definitely getting strong pong in this office and figure they will have to take up some of the carpet tiles. Problem is encouraging the mother to walk down the corridor, out through the door, across to the car park into the lodge. She still keeps popping back into the window box (now indoor floor box) as still a couple of eggs in there. The ducklings don't seem to be able to get back into the box, even though small ramp has been constructed .. 'course, I suppose, ducklings don't have an engineering qualification and understand that this is the way up  Await tomorrow's strategy.
