I can't get a decent photo because they are in a hole, and run away when they see me. I gave them a shallow dish of water and a shallow dish of meat bird crumbles. Mum has deeper dishes.
much cuteness!

Baby Ducks, now!
I have Silver Appleyard ducks which are just hysterical. Two are broody just now - in a giant bonfire. Not the easiest of places to be. Anyway, this morning one lot hatched. The other lot still has about 15 days to go.

I know! What a numpty!Millymollymandy wrote:ahhhhh fabulous! Doesn't look the most comfy of places to go broody in though!
But the nest was totally down lined but very twiggy. Tomorrow I'm going to move the wee water dish a bit further out and try to net all the babies and move them to the safe broody house, then catch mum and put her in with them!
Wish me luck.

I love Ducks!! I want some.
The local foxes love them too, so I have promiced a decent fence before I get anymore, but half the fun was having them knock on the back door for breakfast. Lush they are!

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.
