00:00We just found what we think is a duck egg just sitting here on its own.

00:06Should I take it home and try to hatch it?

00:09I think I might buy an incubator and just give it a go.

00:16The egg is in its life support vessel and now we wait.

00:20Day five.

00:21I'm going to have a look and see.

00:26Oh my God.

00:27Oh my God.

00:28Oh, it's like so alive.

00:34It's moving.

00:35It's moving.

00:36My broveries were twitching.

00:37Oh my God.

00:38There's an eye.

00:39There's an eye.

00:40Do you see the dark dot?

00:42It was torture stopping myself from helping it break out of the egg.

00:45Doing that could be fatal.

00:46I eventually passed out.

00:48Then 29 hours after the pipping began, this happened.

00:54Oh wow.

00:55Hello baby.

00:56Nice to meet you.

00:57Oh my God.

00:58I think I'm going to call him Spike.

00:59Spike.

01:00Oh, he's responding to it.

01:08My gorgeous one day old rescue duckling is finally ready to leave the incubator.

01:11So I'm going to make the most epic duck digs that ever were.

01:16I'm calling it ducking him palace.

01:18My son will not only survive, but he shall thrive.

01:21Number one, mirrors.

01:23Just like the online reports, he started to interact with his sibling.

01:27Two, the surrogate teddy duck.

01:30He looks, learns, and then tries it for himself.

01:35My child is a genius.

01:37And three, having some quack.

01:40Mixing in the duck whistle and also ducky sounds on my laptop.

01:44He just felt right at home.

01:47And with his first full belly, it was a hop and a skip to his royal four poster bed and

01:51nap time commenced.

01:53My heart is full and my brain continues to absorb an insane amount of duck information.

01:57There's only so much I can do for him.

02:01He's foraging with me, he's swimming with me, but he's not socializing with his own

02:05kind.

02:06When he's about eight, nine weeks, he's going to go to the most amazing rehabilitation place

02:12to integrate into a flock, learn how to properly be a duck.

02:18It'll be heartbreaking that we humans are just here to kind of help him along, but ultimately

02:25he's the master of his own destiny.
