Duckling Diary- Day 4 Learning to eat and drink!

 Duckling Diary- Day 4 Learning to eat and drink!

Today we moved the last two ducklings from the incubator to the cage.  Now all of the eggs have hatched and we have 5 ducklings in the cage.  

Today the Nursery children enjoyed holding the ducklings on their laps and stroking them very carefully.  

We watched the ducklings eating and drinking for the first time.  The teachers helped the first duckling to eat and drink by moving around the food and splashing the water.  Once this duckling had learnt what to do, the other ducklings copied!

The ducklings are only 1 day old and they can eat and drink by themselves.  I wonder what you were like when you were a baby?  Ask your parents what you were like as a 1 day old baby!
