The dog loves the rats....I have to open the cage so she can put her head in and kiss them. She is such a mommy! She and I took the brooder to school tonight so I can ride my bike to work tomorrow...and she was not happy when I closed the classroom door.
The duckling's foot was splayed....the feet must have been developing when the power went out. It looked better this afternoon and he was eating, but I think that foot kept him from hatching sooner. No pips in any of the other eggs but I did leave them in the incubator. It is not likely though as tomorrow is day 33...25 is the usual incubation time for ducklings. But I am grateful the kids have one miracle duckling!

A.MA.ZING! That one hatched. That the dog is such a care-giver. I thought for sure when the Captain called you there was going to be a suspicious feather hanging from the dog's lips. What a happy ending.
Oh, what a story that little fella could tell. I hope you have some more miracles from this.
I love how your pup is such a mother hen. :) SOOOOOOO sweet and nurturing. Keep us updated.

Oh my goodness! A miracle duckling and a mommy dog. So sweet. Your kids are going to be so happy, and I hope you tell them this story too. It just melts my heart! I'm still so mad about the power going out. But so thankful you have one for sure!
