we have a brand new baby duck...
♥ tito ♥
(short for patito, or "little duck" en español)
he or she hatched this afternoon
and we all got to watch.
last night, the egg looked like this:
by this afternoon, it was "zipped"
(that's when the duckling makes a line of cracks
in a circle around the top of the egg)
then...
i got the brooding box all ready
and marian moved him
look how tiny!
all tucked in...

Welcome to the family. You couldn't have picked a better place to hatch! There is more love in your new home than you could ever hold in your little wings. Your new Momma is a gem and all your sibs, downy or not, are pure delight too! As they say.....
Lucky Ducky!
Awww, what a lucky duck....to be loved by you and yours. PRECIOUS!
How is Pip taking this new addition? Lucky Ducky!!!!!
Oh Pip has a sister!!!!!!!! She is precious. xooxo Gretchen
So cute...and so needy. We were up all night long with these little ones...every hour on the hour. Our children slept more than these ducklings. Yawn...zzz!
Welcome to the world, Tito! Wonderful pictures...I especially love Marian's sweet fingernail-polished fingers cradling her gently. Hope you all get some sleep soon!
