Well it’s been 3 days now and we still have all 4 little ducklings. I’m hopeful that this is not just by chance, that the small family protected by an experienced mother is paying off. Not to mention the 6 lbs of scratch I’ve fed them.

This morning I looked outside and was greeted by the sight of a new duckling brood. Broods are normally 10-12 so this is quite a small family.

An Accidental Date
