Vieve's Place...Enjoy Your Visit
Well, y'all, we have the final duck egg count and it's 12! The incubation period has begun and this tiny duck just spends all day in the yard, hanging out with her ducks.
So now some shots of her just hanging out!
She's a little hard to see on her nest, but I am keeping an eye out on her all the time!
Today, I came downstairs and saw this little beauty walking around, and I knew what was about to happen:
Since it seems insane to update this every day with a new egg pic, here are all of them that I've taken:
( the pics seem to posting in whatever order they want, but you get it)
So now, I guess we're just ... waiting for all of them to be laid! How wild! We're gonna have a family of ducks!
The other day, a couple of ducks flew into the backyard, a male and a female. They would just fly in, the male would stay in our pool for a while, and the female just walked around. This has been going on for the last week or so, and we've loved watching them come in. Today, I went over to where I kept seeing the female hang out and found this:
An egg! One egg! I was shocked that she had just left the egg (she just flew away this morning and hasn't been back since) so I started to google stuff about this.
Turns out, this is what ducks do. They come into an area with water, they lay 12-16 eggs, one a day, and then after she's laid all she's gonna do, she will incubate the eggs for 28 days and then they'll hatch! So I guess we'll keep an eye here and see what happens!
