Play Pen In Action

 

This is about 3pm in the afternoon. The baby Muscovy ducks get out of the brooder and the garage! 

Fresh air and excercise. Yahoo! 

My gosh they are adorable. The yellow ducks are Spentie and Angel. I can't tell the other ones apart enough to name them yet. "The Peepers" is working for me so far.

OMG! Peeping and Pecking!

Friday, July 31st, 2009 - the
 eggs are making sounds and pecking.

I can't believe it! Peep, peep! I am thrilled, scared and filled with anticipation! It does take quite a while for those little souls to peck out of those shells. I was working that day. I would run down about every 30-45 minutes and check on their progress.

Mama Elsa

As I said before, one day Mama Elsa shows up, and we become friends. The day she chose the back side of my pool fountain to make her nest, I was so surprised. I didn't know they did such things. This started my research on these ducks.

She sat there for the required 34 days. I counted down the days and checked on her every morning.

Here is birthday, March 2008.
