UPDATE
Monday I got two beak sexed Welsh Harlequin duckies to add to the brood! A little boy and a little girl!!

There was no way to do the 'sneak them under her in the middle of the night' trick because I keep them locked up at night in so many layers of protection since the fox incident and then the raccoon incident. So I had to just try to toss them in with all the others. I had them in a smallish box, but as I picked them up she immediately came at me, I guess she noticed the peeping. I got them down on the ground and she came a me trying to beat me with her wings. I held out the box and she hit that instead, and boy did she have some force in those blows! I backed off and she gathered her babies and immediately noticed the new ones. She kept sort of sniffing them, but she didn't reject them.

They have more yellow than hers and were a little smaller, they were born a couple of days later than hers. Can you pick them out of the crowd?

She takes care of them just like her own
