A little over a month ago we noticed we had a broody duck. We had not planned on trying to hatch any ducklings going into the winter, but figured we would let nature run its course. Almost a week ago the ducklings began to hatch. The first one hatched sickly looking and did not make it more than a few hours (there would be another later on in the week who would follow the same path), three more hatched, one of which was trampled by the older ducks, one wandered outside and was victim to the cold. We have one little duckling who is still hanging in; we'll cross our fingers that he makes it...
