Dot and Dash, my pair of Ancona ducks hatched 7 little ones. She had 8 eggs, and one didn't quite make it out of the shell. I tried to get a picture of all of them, but they are running around like crazy having a good time, so I didn't get them all in one shot. I was surprised to see how helpful the drake (Dash) was while hatching. He went in the nest too and would brood the ones that were hatched while the hen kept incubating the remaining eggs. He still helps keep them warm. He's a good daddy!
