Ducks and More Baby Ducks

Every Spring we get to view the baby ducks as soon as they are born. This year she built her nest under some shrubs in our backyard. In years past she has built her nest in our flower pots on the deck. This made it fun to watch as she set on her eggs, but she didn't like for you to come on the deck while she was sitting on her eggs.

But for the last few weeks we have only had the male ducks come up when Chloe would feed them bread.

So today when we went out to feed the ducks we got a "surprise"!!

Here was momma duck with her twelve little ducklings.

Now that they have eaten she is ready to head to the lake for their first swim.

Chloe watching them as they go under the fence to get in the water. We waited to see them get in the water but for some reason she went back to her nest, so we will get a picture of them on the water later on.
