Ducklings

Isabelle and five of her six ducklings hatched yesterday afternoon.

Our Rouen hen, Isabelle, successfully hatched her first eggs yesterday. Isabelle is one of the first ducks we got , now two years old. Michaela and I hatched out four eggs last year, two taken from Katie and two saved from Gillies nest. They were all Cayuga/Black Swedish crosses, and all look like Cayugas. This is our first successful hen raised group. Four of them look like they are Rouen crosses, and the other two look to be Ancona crosses. I'll post some better pics once Isabelle lets me get a better look. She is still keeping them all to herself at this point, and also has more eggs in her nest that have yet to hatch.
