In May, we began our journey with the ducks. We received 20 duck eggs that we kept in an incubator while we watched and waited for them to hatch. Unfortunately, the first batch of eggs did not grow. We were sad to see no progress inside of the eggs but were overjoyed to learn that the farmer was sending us 20 brand new eggs with the hopes that these would grow into healthy ducklings. After the new eggs arrived we waited 28 days before we started to see something happening with one of the eggs.
