Yes she is making progress. She is noticing them and trying to interact with them. She is not glued to my ankle anymore. Yesterday the duck flock was all laying together and she laid down about five foot away from them but she still kept me in her sight.
You are her security but I think you'll see soon she'll be one of the flock. How are you going to feel letting her go? I was happy to see Ope with everyone but you know what he still likes to come inside and get cuddles, sometimes I lay a towel on the floor and he'll lay by my chair while I am on the computer so I have a feeling she is going to still want to spend time with you.
The baby duck is precious. She still only has the one but I counted the eggs awhile ago and she has 4 left. I hope she hatches at least 1 more so it won't be by itself. Most of the time the baby duck went in the chain link fence when one of the ducks come over to look at it. This time it run back in the nesting box and Que Sera went in the nesting box with it. Rhonda run her out real fast. We moved the nesting box shortly after that. They were getting to many visitors.
This is Miss Wonky, I could not get a picture of her on the ground she kept moving in to the shadows.
The next picture is of her roomies
And the two bigger ducklings are her younger sisters, the little one is a chocolate Muscovy.
That is sweet that Ope still comes in the house with you to visit. I hope that Que Sera will do that with us. It will be sad to break the bond with her but I want her to have that choice. I'll always feel like I'm her mom but if she chooses to join the flock I will let her go. She loved Turbo so much and I want her to be able to have a friend or mate and not be alone.
I sure will, they really are something special aren't they.
Sweet Ope. Sitting inside next to you. I love that he does that. I can picture him all pancaked out on the floor.
That is funny. That baby is very adventurous and brave going next door thru the fence. I hope she gets a sibling soon. Too many visitors in the nesting box. Other ducks and Que Sera. It would be fun to have a camera set up capturing all this action.
She is having the best of both worlds. You and her flock mates in sight. Good for her. She deserves it.
