Sitting ducks!


Both the girls, Buttercup and her daughter, are sitting on some duck eggs. When they were hinting to me of their situation a few weeks back, I moved their place around and I placed two brooding boxes in their enclosure. When the time came though, they chose to both sit in the same box. They looked ridiculously uncomfortable but seemed happy enough. In the very beginning, I tried moving some eggs across and even picked up Buttercup and gently placed her in the other box on the eggs. The next morning she was back, squashed into a corner, almost on top of her daughter. So I let her be. It’s been one week for them now, roughly two more to go and then we should have some fluffy baby ducks waddling around hopefully. Spring has sprung finally and the weather is warming up at last. Now all we need is some rain.
