<p><a href="http://morningbrayfarm.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/izzy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13874" title="Izzy" src="http://morningbrayfarm.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/izzy.jpg?w=510&h=382" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>For a week now, Izzy has been sitting on a beautiful nest. With the exception of a few minutes each day when she gets up to take care of things, she refuses to budge.</p>
<p>She has plenty to say when we enter her stall to remove her daily egg:</p>
<p><a href="http://morningbrayfarm.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/izzy2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13875" title="Izzy2" src="http://morningbrayfarm.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/izzy2.jpg?w=510&h=382" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;re not ready for ducklings yet, so we&#8217;re letting her sit, but not letting her keep her eggs:</p>
<p><a href="http://morningbrayfarm.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/izzy3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13876" title="Izzy3" src="http://morningbrayfarm.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/izzy3.jpg?w=510&h=382" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>She does, however, have a fake wooden egg that she&#8217;s taking very good care of:</p>
