I have had 3 ducklings hatched early, trust them to turn up when we had no power or anything  ::) so it was up all night filling hot water bottles and keeping the fire stocked up.

The other 4 eggs are just starting to become livley so i'm hoping they turn up within the next 48 hours.

I have one dark brown and yellow cheasted one, i have a brown and yellow striped one, and a pale brown one.
