They are so cute! I so want ducks. I'm waiting for good water though. Our well is only 16' deep and very bad water and not refilling good. So we are waiting on Delco. I feel like my life is on hold until we can have plenty of good running water.
Mama duck Sandy decided to start training her ducklings to the coop tonight. I'm glad she made the choice so we didn't have to force her and the babies in; which would have happened in a couple of days max. She was waiting outside the coop door with all 7 babies between her legs when I walked up, just waiting to go inside. Once inside Hardy, our East India drake, started towards her and she went all "mad mama" on him...she definitely knows how to protect her babies.
