Introducing...

Donald the Duck the newest member of our family.  Rylee's Animal Science Class had a unit on what it takes to hatch chickens & ducks and take care of them.  Once they hatched the kids with permission from parents you can take them home.  There was a good chance that they wouldn't hatch.  Rylee is really smart and got Reganne & Ryder on board with her.  They all agreed to help to take care of it and I wouldn't need to do anything.  All that was left was to wait...

Waiting...... The email finally arrived on President's Day that the eggs have hatched.  Now the fun begins.

Donald
3 days old

Introductions
Not sure if this is a good one or not.
Waters Stand Off

New House

Custom built
by these 2 boys
One minor problem that they built the sides out of cardboard and with the heat lamp it began to smoke a little.  Not good to have fried baby duck.  Dave found a good cage with a built in pool and feeder.  

He or she (to early to tell) is growing like a weed and loves meal worms, strawberries, bananas, and grapes.  The dogs aren't sure what to make of him.  He is very noisy and had to be moved out of Rylee's room to another spot in the basement.

2 weeks and counting.... Will we all survive??
