I hope I was able to channel my inner “farm boy“. It’ going to need some vigilance since it’s not exactly precise but I’m hoping that at least maybe they have a chance at life. Fingers crossed.

Saturday Morning
Something got Momma duck last night. I found her laying dead in the yard next door. I’m pretty sure it was one of the feral cats that got her since a fox would have took her after eating the eggs. I’ve also never seen any sign of opossums or skunks or raccoons around my place. Regardless, I had to take care of her and then go look for the nest.
OK, so now I found the nest. Now what? To be honest, I really didn’t know at first. I think Grandpa or Grandma gave me an idea tho because I remembered that I did have a heating pad, a cardboard box and some old towels that I use to dry Petey off with after giving her a bath. So I set something up fairly quick just to warm the eggs once again.
OK, that’s setup in the garage for safety reason; now what bright boy? Well, thank the Gods for Google and YouTube. Maybe with any luck I can create a fairly cheap incubator today and tomorrow. Electricity is my friend if I keep it to 110 and I am after all a product of Depression Era parents. I’m pretty sure I can do the engineering to get me from Point A to Point B.
Maybe I can help create some life in this world given all of the death and hate that all of us experience anymore. Personally, I give myself low odds for success. We’ll see what happens.
