The ducklings are hatching!

A friend has been incubating some of our duck eggs for us and today we were able to watch a couple of them hatch! They look a bit bedraggled when they first come out - but soon fluff up and start moving around.  So far there are 7, but we could end up with quite a few more in the next 24 hours.
In this picture you can see the end of the egg being cracked open
Out comes the duckling!  
Here are the dry fluffed up ducklings - just waiting to be cuddled!
