Diary of a duck egg..

Diary of a duck egg!

Day 1

Just laid - I'm an embryo resting on a yolk food store.

Day 12

It's safe and warm in this hard shell, and at last I'm beginning to feel like a bird.

Day 20

I've been growing fast and things are a cramped in here - I'm planning to break out, but I can't find the door.

Day 21 morning

In desperation, I have begun to bash my way out with a toothy bit on my beak - I can see the light at last.

Day 21 afternoon

I'm free! My feathers have dried out, and I've found my legs and am running around. I am starting to feel a bit peckish, so will  start looking for food.
