That's Peep. She had 13 babies from 8 eggs! The eggs in my bator are hers! Although, I've not seen any twins in these eggs! (Whew) but she's sitting on 12, and still laying!

5 eggs were doubles. No loss of life after hatch. Started with 11 eggs, rolled out 3 about 2 weeks in and ta da! Darn near every egg of hers is double!

It's actually why I've tried to figure out what kind of duck she is... I've rested on mallard.

Yes, but they did catch up. Peep is kind of small too. Half the size of my Cayugas. Fully flighted too! (And didn't that scare the bejesus out of me the first time I saw her fly! Darn near burst into tears!)

I think this pic shows how small she is too!

I'm sorry to tell everyone. Cocktail died.

I'm so sorry.

@caesargirl - very sorry about Cocktail. Bless your heart. You certainly did everything you could. I am grateful, as well, that you shared the experience with us.

RIP sweet baby Cocktail.

(PS...still hope you'll name a baby Martini someday.

)
