In about a week our ducks should start "pipping" and emerge from their eggs! We have had the opportunity to "candle" the eggs - meaning we are shining a very bright light into the eggs to see what is inside.
At the beginning stages of development, a black spot and veins are visible as an egg is candled.
As the duck grows, more details become visible.
In the next few days of candling, beaks and feet will be showing when we look inside of the eggs. So far we have about 15 eggs that are showing development, so we are hoping to have several ducklings soon!
