Thurs


It's still raining today and probably will continue into most of tomorrow. While the pond in front of their house has dried up it's become rather muddy - which the ducks love, perhaps even more.

I noticed this morning that Speedy was in her box sitting on her eggs, it seems she listened to my warning yesterday. There is only one (minor) problem. One of the ducks laid an egg in there this morning and now Speedy is incubating it. Imagine if she'd hatched a duckling, it makes me laugh but I wouldn't let it happen. I can just imagine her nesting and then I see this little white duckling from underneath her wing. If she intends on sitting on the eggs I'll be sure to remove it. Her eggs are about 1/3 the size of a duck egg so it wont be hard to find.

that's hilarious, I can just imagine Speedy strolling the farm with her baby duck!

I know how funny would it be, the duckling would be bigger than her after a couple of months.
