The eggs had already been partly incubated while at the farm, so in no time at all, tiny ‘cheeping’ noises could be heard from the eggs as they began pecking away at the egg shells, from the inside. It was absolutely magical for the children to hear.
Yesterday, before I left, I was able to witness one little duckling gradually break free and enter the world for the first time. I am sure by the end of the day, we have 4 more ducklings.
