Eggie

Our First Homeschool Real Life Science Project has Fallen into our Laps..well..Little Hands! ;)  While at the Pond Fishing with there Daddy, my kids came across an abandoned Duck Egg. After using Her Persuasive way, My Daughter convinced my Husband she HAD TO RESCUE it and Bring it Home!!  So Yes..I have a Duck Egg at my house =)   Not know too much about it...if it was fertilized etc..we decided to let her do as she may to SAVE her Duck!!  She put it in a Hamster carrier surrounded by Hamster Bedding and Fluff and put it out on the front Porch Table(we live in Texas..outdoor incubator). =)  We check on it almost everyday, and have seen DEVELOPMENT!!  Sooo....I went online today and Googled the Gestation period of a Duck Egg and found a very helpful Blog with Pictures and everything.  Well....Looks my 11 year old is going to be a Mommy ;)...her Little SAVED egg is about 13days along in a 27 day gestation process!  Today we saw Him MOVING>>what a WONDROUS sight!!  I am so PROUD of her for having the Heart to SAVE that little Lonely Egg and care for it in such a way that it is actually going to Hatch!!  I will update as we get closer to Hatch Day, which if we are calculating correctly, will be around August 30th.  I have posted the Website off to the side where we got the info, and some Pics.  Thanks for Reading
