We have a duck that thinks she is a chicken (Mary) and a silkie hen that likes to be roommates. The two of them are sharing a nest of mixed eggs in the woodpile. Here is Ellen maintaining the nest while Mary is out and about. Actually, Mary is being chased by the puppy while I am snapping this shot.
Mary the duck is crazy about Fabio the blonde rooster. We hope there is at least one male in the batch of mallards so Mary can live a more normal lifestyle!
