Lehman’s Country Life

Well that didn’t take long! Sheesh.

Barely a few hours old and Mom has the ducklings up and at ‘em.

Went out to the nest about 5 minutes ago to check on the hatching progress, it was empty! Quickly snapped a picture and got up to find them. I didn’t think the little tikes would get far. Ended up chasing them down toward the water. Mom had them half way to the water before I caught up with them. By the photograph there are definitely eleven of the little ones.
They leave the nest sooo early these days!

BIG NEWS!

The Mother Mallard that I reported about earlier has ducklings!!

Read the first post>>

An Updated post>>

It has been a long wait, both for us at Lehman’s office and warehouse and the Mother Mallard.

She is a bit standoffish with me photographing them, but just a few minutes ago, she picked up her body enough to get a nice shot of one of the faces. We are not sure the count, but there are egg shells laying all over. I do not believe that the eggs are done hatching.

I will post updates as I find out more, hopefully the Mother Mallard will bring the little ones out for pictures.
