Broody duck

Emily has been missing from the garden crew in the last few days as she has gone broody and spends all day taking care of her eggs.

We couldn't leave the eggs for her to sit on so substituted them with the clay eggs that we bought earlier in the yeat to give them the hint of laying.

This is only the second time we have had a broody duck. The first was Emily the first year we had ducks and it lasted about two weeks so we are expecting the same from Emily.

The garden will be pleased as she is usually the ringleader if there is mischief about to happen.
