Congratulations Grandpa! Such adorable little ducklings! My Call Duck is on 12 eggs right now (was 15!). Also unintentional but I only have myself to blame Can't wait to see Hershey with her babies out and about Please keep us updated

Everyone's doing good! She showed them the water & food today. But she did return to the nest again and is still sitting on the eggs. Should I take the unhatched ones from her or just let her be?

Found the food bowl without mom . Little trouble makers!

They sure look healthy. whos the daddy? If you want to keep them out of the water make something like this. Then mom gets a taller container

so the ducklings can't get into it.

How handsome, so your going to have hinnies. They look like full Muscovy with their coloring. I love how mixes have such pretty babies.

I've had some of the most beautiful birds that were 'mutts' or backyard mixes. I actually think some of them turn out prettier then real breeds sometimes .

I like the natural birth control that comes with mixing a Muscovy with mallard-derived breed too.
