Ducks are appearing from out of nowhere
Posted by Morning Bray under Ducks | Tags: duckling, mallard duckling |[27] Comments
Don and I often talk about how magical Morning Bray Farm is, but we can’t figure this one out.
From out of nowhere, a baby mallard appeared in our garage yesterday.
Baby’s parents were not to be found, but Baby is extremely alert and seems quite strong.
Don has Baby in the powder room with a heat lamp and a warm, fluffy blanket, poultry starter feed and ample water. Naturally, we weren’t properly equipped to handle baby ducks until just a few weeks ago.
What can I say? Isn’t this a teensy bit odd? Good, but odd?
Saturday update: Don has named her Charlotte. If she’s a boy, Charlie.

Close encounters of the donkey kind

The weather was beautiful over the weekend, so we decided to take the ducklings outside for the first time.
Hillary, who we think will become Edmund, was an excited blur most of the time.
Hello, Harriet.
They all seemed to enjoy exploring their new world.
All of the sudden though, unidentified creatures appeared from nowhere.
Hazel (who we think will become Jake): Nobody move!
Edmund: If we don’t move, they won’t see us.
Fergus: Umm, mom? What are those?
Nigel: They sure are funny looking things.
Augusta (who we think will become Augustus, or Gus for short): Who are you calling funny looking, mister?
Hello, Beatrice.
Beatrice: Holy cow, there’s another one coming!
Me: That’s Patrick. You’re going to love Patrick.
I wish I could have known what everyone was thinking.
Bernard: Mamma, why are they making those funny peeping sounds?
Me: They’re ducklings, boys. It looks like we’re going to have three girls (Beatrice, Harriet and Isabelle) and three boys (Edmund, Gus and Jake).
Me: I hope you all are going to get along just fine.
Me: Let’s get your first outside group photo.
From left to right: Edmund, Harriet, Gus, Isabelle, Beatrice and Jake.
