Duckling!

If ducklings knew anything about the Internet, this one would be shouting “FIRST” in triumph, as the other eggs are only just starting to crack.

I’ll keep an eye on the nest and make sure she sits long enough, but I’m not terribly worried – last time she sat for four days after the first baby hatched.

    What a wonderful photo! I’ve had the honour of watching chickens hatch, but never ducklings. I imagine it’s much the same, only… duckier?
