our first duckling hatches

2 of the 7 eggs went bad during the 28 day incubation (sprang a leak and froth came out) so I removed those. On day 28 all 5 remaining eggs showed a cracked spot that poked out, but that was it for a day. This morning (day 29) finally we have a ducky! Fingers crossed for the other 4.
