I especially love the faculty conversation about this. I hope to see the students get online here soon. This is fantastic! I especially love the faculty conversation about this.

Incubation begins when the clutch is complete and lasts for 27 to 28 days. The ducklings all hatch within 24 hours, mostly during the day. Once they are hatched they are led to water."

I'll take a look. He said another student went in the area to look. I am printing up duck habitat signs that will include pictures of her to post around the perimeter.

We put the duck photos on the big screen with the LCD projector as a writing/drawing prompt. The kids explained how in science they learned about how the female has the less colorful feathers to camouflage herself while she's protecting the eggs.

This is an amazing opportunity on many fronts!
