Let us know please

All right, so I had to wait a couple days to actually move her because I decided to fix up an older pen and get locks for it to keep out raccoons. Then I went to move her last night, but it turns out I had screwed the tub to the platform it sits on. ‍(whoops) I was able to get her out of the nest today so I could unscrew it and she happily accepted her nest again. Tonight I was able to lift the tub with her in it and move it to the pen. She was not pleased with the move and gave me several little warning nibbles on my belly. So far so good and she seems committed to her nest of 7 eggs!

Yay! She's still in the box and sitting on her eggs!

Update: The muscovy successfully hatched 4 ducklings!
