duck went missing...update

[chixie]

one of my female mallards went missing for about 2 weeks...I figured a hawk or dog got her. yesterday DH found her... about 3 weeks ago I thru out an old couch (out my patio door) expecting DH to take it to the dump... the couch is on its side and there is a slit in the bottom liner. dh hubby saw it moving and looked inside. my duck is there sitting on 4 eggs ... she used the stuffing of the couch to make her nest... sso I guess I will be havein baby ducks again in a couple of weeks..I am excited
Update : aparently this is the duck that was missing the longest. her babies are hatching
