So much for duck mothering...

After the eggs hatched, Mary kinda lost her mind. She trampled a couple of babies, then kept walking off without the chicklings. She would just ramble around the farm griping. Wil took the chicklings and put them in the brooder with other chicks. They are all fine. Mary is now in the duck pen with the mallards, six of whom are males. Wish us luck that Mary will know a normal duck life now.
