Duckies!!

My brother works as a maintenance tech at an apartment complex in Myrtle Beach. One of his jobs is to maintain the pool. There are a few resident ducks at the apartments, and one of them had laid a nest. My brother didn't want the eggs hatching and the new ducks thinking that the pool was an acceptible habitat. LOL

So he took the nest home (if he just moved it, I don't think mama duck would have found it, and all would have died) and set up a heat lamp to hatch the ducklings. Out of several eggs (8, I think?), he is now the proud papa of two cute little fuzzy ducks. They are ADORABLE!! Once they're big enough that a hawk won't mistake them for a snack, I think he's going to release them to the pond that is behind his house. Pretty cool :)
