Hi there fluffy, you cant really see much in a picture as it looks like hes just laying on his side. He has improved alot today. So much so I have put him in with the other 3 this arvo. He was calling to them after we let them "play" together, so I thought Id just pop him in and keep an eye on him. Seems fine, it has perked him up more if anything. He just blunders around with the others. he falls over alot more than them. I really do think he'll be fine. Fingers crossed. I spent every hour or so this morning excercising him and making sure he ate and drank so its paid off obviously. No sleepless night tonight!! There is now another egg that has pipped! So still 2 more to go. Im at work tomorrow but I'll be popping home at luchtime to check on them and my OH will keep me posted at other times. Lucky I had time off last week!! I will try to post some more pics now before I head to bed. they are gorgeous babies. I wish I could keep them all. But I'll bet theres a few males and I guess I can only keep 1 I will keep all the girls.

Thanks guys. The kids are very gentle. They absolutely adore the babies. Snuggles is doing really well. he's running around now and eating and drinking. Into the box with the others when I get home. I have had a stream of staff and students in to see him. A bit of a novelty here at work! Everyone love him. Pity Im not bringing him tomorrow as there are different people here from day to day. The ones not here today will be sorry they havent seen him. He is in my bosses office at the moment keeping her company (I wanted my air con on). Alrighty, bye for now

Hi guys, it is pretty goodisnt it? I work with amazing people. I work for South West Regional College (TAFE) in Busselton. Im in an admin position- its called general dogsbody!! duties- apparently everything!! lol I look after purchasing, maintenance, stock, contracts etc. Today I ve been organising catering for a couple of Special courses. I was whipping cream for the scones this morning and digging holes after lunch looking for the gas line, this afternoon Im paper shuffling. You get the picture. I do love it its varied work always something to do. Ive got a month off after tomorrow so Im flat tack today and tomorrow getting organised. I will take some pics as soon as I can. Im not exhausted anymore. had the best sleep last night Ive had in a about a week!! I went to sleep at about 10.Nothing hatching. I chucked the other duck eggs as the one that had pipped died yesterday while I was at work. the other two remaining eggs were no good either. I candled my bantam eggs last night and of the ones due to hatch later this week I could see 3 ok and movement and the others I couldnt see much. Will have to wait and see. The eggs I put in about a week ago have signs of life in quite a few,. I will candle again on the weekend to see whats happening. I also took all the eggs out quickly and changed the water back to one section. The eggs have had a week of 70-90% humidity while the ducks were hatching so hope theyre going to be ok. Anyway, Im off to make a coffee, the Id better get to that paper shuffling! Catch you all later
