strange but true story

[ladyangel]

years ago i had hens but no rooster
the poor wild duck down the road that was sitting on a nest was killed
my hen was trying to set.[no rooster]so why not..I gave henny-penny the duck's eggs
they hatched! cool funny thing to watch but
you would have thought some-one way attacking them
the way henny-penny acted went her babies went for a swim
after-thought I guess I better never give a duck chicken eggs or the babies would drown;

I can just see the hen, going nuts while her babies paddle away..
