Mallard Ducklings - Anas platyrhynchos

The ducklings above were born to a domestic variant Mallard mother. Domestic Mallards can escape or be released and will breed with the wild Mallards in the area. They usually have a white bib and can have splotchy white on their necks and faces. Ducklings of the domestics usually lack the regular spots and coloring and can look like those pictured.

Time for another contest!



For those who do not know, Joseph and I are expecting.
I am now a day past due (was due June 7th) and I thought it would be fun to do a guess when this little baby will be born!


Challenge:



Guess the date and a time you think the baby will be born in the comments.


Upvote this post.


Prize:



Closest guess gets 3 shares in @steembasicincome! Closest date/time wins. If there are two guesses that list a date and only one lists a time, the guess including a time will count as closest so make sure to include a time in your guess!

Good luck!!

May the young ducklings inspire you!

@katysavage You asked...

Guess the date and a time you think the baby will be born in the comments.

These ducklings are already born! How can they born again! I have highlighted the point in your sentence above. You asked when will they born, not when was the time when they born.
However, it takes 25-29 days for them to come out of eggs.

Oh, I am pregnant and was due June 7th. So that's the baby you would be guessing.

Oh my God! This is really very good news. May you and your baby remain healthy and happy. Congratulation for this precious achievement of your life.
Now, tell me when is the party?

Thank you. We are excited.
We had a few celebrations with friends and family in the last few months.

I hope you will post your baby's photo in your post.

I plan to :)

Funny contest :) Well, I say on the 11/6, at 11:45 am. And as we say in Portugal, "Uma hora pequenina!" (basically means hope it's quick and everything goes well!)

Chicks are funny. We have a single chick - no brothers or sisters: and it chiipps loudly ALL the time.
So - my guess is June 13 @ 4:47am. And it will be easy... Luck to ya! :-))
