Last year was a bust. We had less than a handful of ducks born at the house. It just happens some years, either the ducks don’t choose a suitable nest, predators get the eggs, untimely rain etc.
This year things are looking up. We have 7 ducks sitting on eggs, and so far have 9 new ducklings, from only 2 of the clutches. They are adorable! I’ll try to get more pics when the ducklings are wandering around, but right now mom is protective and they are constantly moving (when they’re not under momma)
Here’s an update on momma duck with baby chick. Growing up fast!
I’m glad you’re having better luck this year. Baby animals are so much fun!
Thanks! I see you’re having some fun of your own with new chicks š
Love! I grew up raising ducks very similar to this and it was always awesome when Mama was leading them around.
Agreed! I walked out this morning to see one momma with 7 and other with 3, wandering around the yard. Too cute!
