Drakes aren't so bad after all

[Kevin565]

Before I rehomed my Mallard Drake he picked up a strange trait. He actually started sitting on the nest when the female got off. Yes I am sure that he was indeed a Male. He fathered several ducklings before. However, he was too much of a aggressive breeder for my little flock so I found him a great home with several ladies just to himself. I've never heard of a drake sitting before though. Has anyone else had this happen?

I had not. Thanks for the link Miss Lydia!

Wow, I've never had that happen either! But then again, laying ducks aren't known for being good sitters.
