Even though they have a whole pond to drink from…
…they like the water in the paint tray better!

It’s Spring and the Ducks Know It
March 7, 2009 By 4 Comments
Recently my munchkins and I got ready to go to the library. I sent the kids out first as I usually do. They came running back saying, “Hurry Mommy! The boy ducks are attacking the Mommy!”
My munchkins ask enough questions as it is. I was not going to explain that behavior.
“Just get in. They’ll move when I start the truck.”
The ducks are welcome to use the same nesting spot as last year. I just wish they’d keep their behavior clean when they’re in our driveway!
If I Could Speak Duck…

No, you can’t swim here. This is our section.
I want to swim with you. Let me have a turn in this spot.
Stop fighting. Share the water, there’s lots of it. Be good and leave me alone for 15 minutes to take a bath and eat a little bit.
P.S. This is the first nest of ducklings that now live on the pond.
The Nest At Our House

This is the nest at our house.
These are the eggs that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the duck that laid the eggs that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the bush that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the gander that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the path that people walked on
and scared the gander
that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
These are the eggs that started to hatch
beside the path that people walked on
and scared the gander
that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
These are the ducklings that total six
that came from the eggs that started to hatch
beside the path that people walked on
and scared the gander
that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the duckling that wouldn’t stay hid
when its momma called quack
to the ducklings that total six
that came from the eggs that started to hatch
beside the path that people walked on
and scared the gander
that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the corn we gave to the ducklings
including the one that wouldn’t stay hid
when its momma called quack
to the ducklings that total six
that came from the eggs that started to hatch
beside the path that people walked on
and scared the gander
that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the water tub in the cage
that keeps the ducklings safe
to eat the corn we give to the ducklings
including the one that wouldn’t stay hid
when its momma called quack
to the ducklings that total six
that came from the eggs that started to hatch
beside the path that people walked on
and scared the gander
that guarded the bush
that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.

P.S. This is the second nest of duck eggs hatched here this summer. This Mommy Duck is actually the daughter of the Momma Duck I posted about previously.
