The ducks share a birthday with Jason! Six hatched the day he was born and two more hatched three days later.
Evie was completely in charge of this project. She made sure to write the date on the eggs when she put them under the broody hens and has managed all the hatching, feeding, and nesting.
She still has eight duck eggs and one chicken egg under hens and Fairy, the duck mama. Fairy is meaner than Strawberry! Or so I've heard. Today was the first day I went all the way out to the chicken yard. I'm looking forward to getting back into a new normal.
