Hi All!
One of my hens stole a nest from a duck and laid her own eggs in it. So
far she has hatched 2 ducklings,
but no chicks. I was able to place one of the ducklings with another duck
mother, but this one was
rejected so she's staying with the chicken. The black hen is probably a
Black Star, and the duckling is a
Cayuga.
I have not let them out yet, but this morning the gate was open while I
was changing food and water and the hen trotted out while my back was
turned.
HER sister-in-law, Mrs.
Rebeccah Puddle-duck,
was perfectly willing to leave
the hatching to some one else
-- "I have not the patience to
sit on a nest for twenty-eight
days; and no more have you,
Jemima. You would let them
go cold; you know you would!"
"I wish to hatch my own
eggs; I will hatch them all
by myself," quacked Jemima
Puddle-duck.
