A bunch of ducks and some chickens

[Callender Girl]

Siobhan has done a wonderful job! Such cute babies, whoever their parentage.

Third time broody for Siobhan
Without too many disturbances, annoyances, and distractions, Siobhan has had a very successful hatching time.

All six hatched about the same time, 1.5 days earlier than due date. Four hatched on Saturday morning, and the other two hatched by lunchtime.

Here are the 3 that I think are hers (hinnies), they all have distinct yellow ring around their necks (difficult to see in the photo).

And the other 3 (regular) ducks. (I'm not sure why two are yellow, I'm probably wrong with who's whose. At least one of the yellow ones must be a welsh harlequin(?). (Maybe one of the yellow ones is Siobhan's, and one of the ones above is a khaki campbell cross.))

We'll see how she goes as a mum this time.

Precious Congratulations to Mama Siobhan.
