New duck mommy 2021
Free Ranging
Just want to add that Chest has done a great job. From her sitting to hatching and now raising these babiesOne week left till my little ones go to the new home
We are day13 today
I finally let mom bring them out in the big yard yesterday with the other ducks
I kept my goose along with peep and daisy in the other outside pen as I don’t trust them not yo harm the little ones
All the rest were perfectly fine around mom and her babies
In fact she left them to babysit while she chased grasshoppers
My husky stood guard as they had a swim too
I would trust her fully to do this again one day
She has taught them so much including how to catch flies
None of my other young ones I incubated did that this young
It’s been a real blessing to watch her on her journey
I haven’t held them other then one time when I removed the crate in her area and put a bigger table thing I built so they had more room that was in the first few days
She no longer hisses at me if I’m yo close but I also don’t push her limits

Who knew a pekin x khaki duck could be such a good sitter and mother
I was told pekins don’t sit and khakis aren’t good moms
2 of Daisys other daughters from last year that another lady hatched ( sold my eggs to) are also are sitting
Hopefully they are good moms too
