I went out into the wood-- we call it the wood, it's really just a small grove. Anyhow, my son's lt. brahma hen was missing, she's old, so we were concerned. I went into the wood to look for her, and came across a nest of DUCK EGGS!! I'm so excited!!
I thought Jemima had just layed her first egg on the edge of the wood, turns out, she has a nest of 5 eggs hidden! I rushed back into the house to call my mama and find out what to do LOL she said "just leave 'em be, and she'll start settin' 'em when she's ready. And KEEP THE KIDS OUT OF 'EM!" LOL
I don't have a 'bator, and have no interest in getting one right now, so it's up to mama. I can't wait to see what the babies look like! Jemima and Daffy are both so pretty. Jemima is a blue swede, and Daffy is a crested black swede.
I feel a little silly, here I am 31 years old, and as giddy as an 8 yo!! LOL
