i found a nest!!!...UPDATED...BABIES

well my birds normally roam free when i let them out and then just go in the shed when it gets dark and i shut them in so they are safe...then i noticed about a week ago that one of my mallard hens went missing and i didnt see her when i shut everybody in for the night...i was really sad and i thought that something had probably gotten her...but then after not seeing her for 2 days i see 2 mallards instead of only one...so i am glad to see her but again she is not in the shed at night so i hadnt seen her for a couple days but then yesterday i saw her again and when i waited until she started walking away and i followed her...she led me right to the nest...she had a nest under our horse tack shed...right in the middle of it...so theres no way i could reach them...so i will just have to wait to see how many babies she has...

and my guess is that she is on day 7-10

now i cant wait for them to hatch

 

THEY HATCHED!!!!! so i got home tonight and my sister comes running up to me and is like the ducks hatched...and i was soo happy...she hatched out 13 beutiful little ducklings...10 look like mallards and 3 look like blue swedes....will post pics soon!!!!

I am soo excited...
