RIP Ripley


The duckling did not hatch yesterday, so with a heavy heart I re candled the egg and then opened it up. Inside was a perfectly formed but very dead duckling. I am not sure what caused its death,perhaps the humidity of the incubator was not just right, or perhaps I had not cleaned the porous egg well enough? who knows. I have been reading everything I can on duck hatching, so hopefully will be a little more prepared when I try with my ducks again after the 10th of April (that is when my e bay runner ducks are due to hatch)
Off to Manchester later to see Nige and we are off to The Cornerhouse Cinema which should be great
