thank you all so very much

i miss momma duck...
while she was on the nest i would hold food and water for her a couple times a day.
it's so strange to only see three ducks now
i want to thank you all so much for your comments
(catherine i accidently deleted yours, because i am not awake yet and pressed the wrong button, i'm so sorry)

dulcette, who now has a lot less then half a comb is doing well....she laid an egg yesterday.
actually we got 5 eggs from 4 chickens and two of them were full sized so henrietta is also laying i think

i am thinking of ordering 6 ducklings from country hatchery in oklahoma tomorrow
not to replace momma, but to raise babies
bernie thinks i'm crazy  --since colleen is coming july 3-17
but i think i am going to do it
and worry about space etc later
i will keep one drake and all the ducks out of this if i do it
and yes i know that we don't really have enough space....but i was thinking...
IF we take the temporary pen and make a REAL pen with cinderblock and such.....so it's predator proof
we could put them out there in night crates......?
now the only flaw in this plan is how to get the pen thingie actually MADE.
any ideas?

i got new batteries for the camera so i am going to start taking pictures of the chickens and ducks dancing (yeah right....more like hunting worms) in the sun
