Hey Ravyn!! Ack...summer's just too crazy to get on here regularly, darn it!

I try hard though...

Saw the video of your calls (maybe on this thread?) I just thought all ducks were like that, vocal wise.

They're so cute!

I learn something new every time I'm on here...

These chicks are 7 weeks old and mama will not let them go I still catch her with a couple of them under her once in awhile. I had 2 other broodies who left their babies 2 weeks ago but Delilah refuses.

Wow, she's a dedicated mom!

She is very dedicated I have never seen anything like her. I knew Cochin made great moms but she goes above and beyond.

Wow that's a lot of chicks for such a little mama. Delilah must be related to my Sebright. Her chicks are now 10 weeks old & 2xs her size. She did stop sleeping on them & spends some time apart now that she's laying again. Yet, she is often seen just hanging out with her "babies."

She only had the one, but how she cherished that baby! That hen is sitting on 7 eggs now. She is such a good mama!

Somehow this one did not post the first time. Isn't she regal?

This is Ruffles our Buff Orpington with her babies. She went broody and we got eggs from the farmers market for her to hatch. She is a great momma!

I love the picture too, whatever mom is telling them, they are paying rapt attention. How cute.
