Marsi, you are the bird mama extraordinare! They are so lucky to be loved and cared for by you.

I am so sorry that you have had to part with so many of your flock. In kindergarten in Boulder the teacher always let the children experience the hatching of duck eggs When school let out for the summer, our daughter brought home two ducklings which our kids named pepper and swimmy. They loved our little pond dammed up from our back yard creek. We enjoyed them all summer, but in the fall they vanished one day. We found no trace of foul play ( sorry, I couldn't resist.) We thought we would never see them again, but one spring day the children ran inside yelling with excitement...." Pepper and Swimmy are back! Sure enough, they had returned to us!

I love that, Lynn! We raised a wood duck duckling one year and she comes back every spring. 🥰
