It's hard to believe that only 9 weeks ago our eggs were hatching! Now our ducks are fully grown and the children have absolutely loved seeing them each day. Sadly, now it is time to say goodbye as the ducks are off to their new home tomorrow (Tuesday). They are off to a lovely pond with other ducks and geese and will be very well looked after.
