baby duck with lots of problems

[GarnerZoo]

Okay, I will submit number one after I post on here Dave's pictures. I wanna try and get one of him on a walk maybe and see how that turns out and my mom has a few she wants me to look at of him on her computer. So that'll be either later tonight (Have to feed cows right now) or tomorrow morning. To be truthful I was really rooting for number one in the first place! It just makes my heart melt seeing Lady cuddling her baby close after it hatched (that's the day it hatched too!) so I'm glad you all agreed, thanks so much for helping me narrow it down! So, i'll post Davie's soon but for now I have to go take care of the cows..I have one her name is Mohawk (because her tuft of hair on her head looks like one) and she's been losing weight because it's been so dry in the fields and she gets pushed outta the hay piles we've been feeding. I bring her apples and grain to help her gain her weight back so I've been spending lots of time with her lately. Our bull though has realized she gets apples all the time (thank god he hasn't learnt about the grain!) and he runs up to me whenever I'm with her looking for apples..I know he means no harm but boy he is big and scary running towards you! Even if its only for an apple..I've seen him charge us when we're out catching the calves to bring to a safer field.
Also, the chickens are doing better today! I'm so glad about that I was starting to get worried but all seems well now *knocks on wood* still a small limp in each of them, and they like to lay more than stand but they're not completely down like they were the first few days. Anyways off to feed the cows and horses, I'll post Dave's later after I get his too a smaller selection. Thanks all for helping me with the ducklings and Lady pics!

Awe, so glad it's number one. The eyes on the duckling are what did me in and mother Lady is soooo cute. Poor Mohawk. I am glad you take her extras. That bull would scare me too. Post pics of Davie when you can. All your ducks are just so cute.

Garner Zoo you have asked for the impossible again.

I love all the photos. I keep going through them trying to decide. ok here is my choice and it was a hard one too. I'm going with 2 because he has his little head cocked to the side like I'm cute and I know it. Can you get the pic of him in the party hat again? That was a great pic too.

Poor Mohawk I hope she fattens up. There is always the underdog and it just makes us love that one so much more. I'm sure she appreciates the extra love and care you are giving her. Bless your heart.

I'm so glad your chickens are doing better. They are so lucky to have someone that cares for them the way you do.

2 and 4, for sure! 2 just oozes personality, and 4 is a well-lit, nicely shot photo taken at just the right moment. It's gorgeous!

Although I love the pictures of his sweet face, I'd have to vote for 4. That is an amazing action shot. Great job.
