[ducklover700]

Well, San Francisco is Great Place to take a vacation! Here's a pic of two of them to tempt you!!
Whoops... Upside down

UPDATE!!!!

I tried to move one of my broodies and she did ditch the nest. Although, I left the other one at the other house. I actually left for most of the week to visit some family that were moving further away (they lived 2 hours away). Just got back, they are supposed to hatch tomorrow, and she already hatched 6 ducklings!

ILovemyduckies: Ahhhh, how cute, some of them look like Magpies. I have only been able to move a broody duck nest one time with success and that was with a BEI who was an exceptional little duck ( RIP little Daisy).

Thx, they are actually cayuga/pekin mixes. (The dad is a cayuga/pekin, one of the moms is a cayuga, and one is a pekin)
