Oh yay! Congrats on the precious babies! Keep them away from daddy ducks for a while so no one gets hurt!

We have like, 4 sizes of those plastic horse water troughs! I have been staring at the smallest one, I think its a 50 gal?... thinking about ways I can use it for my birds. I think you have just showns me what to do!

Love that bright red house!

Thanks AHappychick! They'll outgrow that pen soon!

I've been wondering about that. I've been observing everyone's behavior and whenever momma gets upset and gets vocal daddy comes running over. When the other hens follow him, he chases them away when they get too close to her pen. Not sure what he thinks of the babies, though. How long do you think I should wait? (Glad I gave you an idea for the water tank.

We always had the drakes try to kill the ducklings.... keep them apart till the babies are big enough to get away...

Oh no! The mommas didn't protect them? I'll definitely keep them apart for awhile then. Thanks!​
