Sweet little Nugget. Good for her. If I got wings I am gonna use 'em.Hahaha well it was just a low hanging branch. Nugget's the leader of the pack and with most of her wing feathers in she is not shy of adventure. Every morning when I change the water she flies out of the brooder
I can see why. She's cute from head to toe or talon.Hehe thanks, she was 3weeks old here. She's my daughters favorite
This story actually has a very amusing twist. My mallard hen was sitting on a batch of infertile eggs. I purchased a couple of fertile duck eggs from Metzer Farms. I placed the eggs underneath and she sat on them for about a week. One day, she was no longer interested in sitting, and she simply abandoned the nest. I candled them and realized that Shamus' egg was growing. My husband and I put together a makeshift incubator. Shamus hatched a few weeks later. The mother duck was actually Natasha! Shamus' mate actually sat on his egg for a week. 
You are so welcome. Silly mallard hen. That is a fascinating twist regarding Natasha and Shamus. And you have to admit this story actually reads like an adventure. Isn't nature wonderful when it's in your midst?Thank you, Julie.
Nature is fascinating and magical. It's always an adventure on the farm!
