Broody Chicken saving Duck eggs

Ducks sometimes choose an impossible place for their nest and keep on trying it there. In this case, some curious sheep kept on crashing the unlucky eggs. It was time to intervene, but we needed some help…

[@emmamae3029]

When I was a girl on our small family farm, we had a club-footed chicken who was always sitting on eggs, but hatching none. Despite her maternal yearnings, she seemed to be sterile. One spring, one of the ducks made her nest under a rhododendron. Shortly before the ducklings were due to hatch, a coyote scared her off the nest and she abandoned it. So Dad collected the eggs and traded the club-footed hen for the artificial eggs she had been given to keep her happy. Two days later, the hen became a beaming mom! That is, until she marched her little troupe along side the drainage ditch - at which point, to Mother Hen's dismay - they all dove in! That poor hen was the sight to see, frantically flapping her wings and clucking loudly, as she stamped her club feet up and down the bank, scolding her naughty children! She wasn't happy about it, but she soon enough accepted the strange habits of her brood. And that is how a hungry coyote made a want-to-be mom (mostly) very happy!

I really like how u keep Momma Chicken with the babies even when they go to the pond. I've seen ppl use Hens to hatch duck eggs and then they immediately take the ducklings away because they said "' a chicken can't raise a duck it's for their safty" I left a comment and asked if they thought the Hen was gonna eat them or somethin' cuz he said "for the ducklings safety" it just doesn't make sense to me, because your's always seem to do just fine!!!

Dear Alwyn, you're so so amazing!

They grew up and of the three I still have left, are living their best lives with all the space to wander around in that they could wish, and we just installed a new and much bigger pond for them. 🦆
