I'm using the work computer to give a duck update, not my normal practice. No one told me I can't use it for personal use, but they didn't say I could so I don't typically do it. It's so much easier than a phone or tablet, we need another home computer. With spell check I don't have to worry about typo's even though I can't see a darn thing

Anyway, I haven't been locking the ducks up at night and so far things are going fine. It won't last indefinitely, the owls will be back before long and the white ladies stick out like a sore thumb at night. Bean is broody, I'm so thankful we're having monsoons this year so it's not too hot while she's sitting. I have the quack shack door propped open and she's made herself a nest under the door against the wall around the yard. I'll get a pic to upload later because it's difficult to explain. She's not easy to see there most of the day because there's dappled shade and she blends in well with her fawn coloring. Will mark eggs and update later on how many she has. Now comes the battle to remove new eggs each day. Thank goodness for peas!

Thanks for the duck update

So you'll let Bean hatch some eggs? I'd love to see some ducklings!

Yes ma’am I’m going to let her do it. I’d rather sh does is and not me!

Here she is. There’s water right there for her and food is right inside the door so she picked a good spot

That's so exciting babies will be so much fun . She does blend in with her surroundings.

What a smart girl to choose the perfect spot to brood!

There are 8 eggs in her next. No idea when they should hatch.

This may be option for you to consider. Not sure which browser you are using, I use Opera, and Google Chrome.
In Opera, I can open a "PRIVATE WINDOW"
In Chrome, I can open "INCOGNITO WINDOW"
Firefox also has "PRIVATE WINDOW"
No browsing history, or temporary internet files saved to your hard-drive.

If your employer wants computer returned for whatever reason, They will not be able to see your posting on BYC. Like it never happened.

I use this mode if I am by someone else home,,,, using their computer to check something like Email. I may not be sure of how secure their computer is from Cyber attack criminals.

Thanks Cavey, I’ll see if that’s an option on the work device.

You know, the universe doesn’t seem to realize that I have enough on my plate and it just needs to stop. Step mother passed away last week, Papa is in the hospital with anemia and they can’t figure it out, and the little dood here is sick and had to be tested for Covid. My appointment for eye check up is in jeopardy and we’re expecting rain which could be anything from a light drizzle to a gulley washer. The broody Bean is not under great cover and I need to fix that without her freaking out.

That's a lot on one plate IM. Sorry about the death in your family, your dad's hospitalization (hope they figure out what's going on soon) and the little guys illness. Lots of hugs
