The duckling that was so thoughtfully donated by Cae yesterday, seems to have settled down with a doting but fairly static Blanche. The duckling that was pipping yesterday (I thought it was a hen chick) hatched in the middle of the night, but unfortunately did not survive.so it is only the two of them in a large hen coop fit for 12.Blanche still shows no sign of moving, so I carefully removed the eggs shells from her nest . Hopefully tomorrow she will take her tiny charge outside for a walk and a feed.
John, you are amazing, and so is Blanche and nature. Fingers crossed for tomorrows outing. Jayne x
ReplyDeleteWhat a dear photo. Sure hope that Blanche gets cheered by her little ducky charge. (Sent a packeage to you this morning...they said it should take 6 to 10 days...I guess it'll be on that slowwwww boat!)
