Swineherding with Sasquatch

Autzen's single duckling was out and about at the same time as I was doing evening chores. This was the first time I've really seen the new duckling . . . looks like another 5 star recruit.

Puddle's seven ducklings continue to do well. Autzen has only hatched one and I'm thinking that's all there is going to be.

Day two of ducklings and I've realized I don't know the difference between Puddles and Autzen. But even with the hens being temperamental, all seven ducklings are still alive. And I tracked the still broody hen back to her nest; so I now know where she's holing up, but still no idea of when they'll hatch.

And since Mini-Squatch I is currently at camp, I thought I would try to document the babies for her. Hopefully this story has a happy ending . . .

The Ducklings finally hatched today. Currently there are seven little quackers. There were still at least two eggs left in her nest, but I don't think she's been back them.

Before leaving for Texas one of the kids tried to convince me that baby ducklings could drown. Well they seem to be swimming just fine. They almost had me for a second.
