What happens when a duck steals its neighbour's eggs! We took away a couple of the 21 eggs that finally ended up in the nest and marked the others!
Twelve little muscovy ducklings!
First day out, the youngest were only born a few hours before!
Duck and goose pond, constructed to allow run-off and filtering of surface feathers, built with black tarp, rocks and the pieces of road paving torn up and discarded off the side of the road!

Now on we don't know how many eggs -- we discovered that both goose and one of the female Muscovy ducks were "stealing" eggs laid next to them and adding them to their nests -- we're waiting for D-day to come with its load of surprises. We've never seen the jar actually mount his companions, but who knows? In any case, we thought that geese laid and reproduced in spring. Ours are teaching us differently.
It began with two goose eggs.
We discovered that one of the two female geese had begun to build a nest carefully "hidden" (she thought) behind the big bale of straw.
