There. Duck Mama number one tucked into her enclosure. Food – water – duck – eggs. And no more visitors from other would be mama ducks.
When and if the eggs hatch I will make a corridor of the bales and gently walk the ducklings and their mama to the little hospital coop for the duration. 
But I did not intend to have ducklings so that is enough intervention. The rest is up to Nature.
I ordered meat chickens today too. It is a bit quieter now. I think I can manage. Plus there is a lot more to feed fattening chickens in the late summer.
Hope your day is going well!

Is it just me, or is the Ginger Gene fairly dominant on the Farmy? Cats, pigs, chooks (some of them), ducks (sort of…) and Aunty Del.
Your cats look fat, healthy and happy! Love it:)
happy mama duck, happy you and happy greedy cats!
I have been gone from WordPress for a long while..and just wanted to say how much I missed your posts! So happy to be “back on the farm” with you! Kim
Good morning Kim and welcome back!
Ensconced, not esconced. Sorry.
Never be sorry
What a great solution Celi. A new mother couldn’t ask for a better start. Cheers to your resourcefulness!
Best of luck with your duck! Love the shot of the cats … 🙂
