I’ve waited eleven weeks for this moment…

Big thank you to Southern Biophilliac Urban Farm for helping make my Snowflake Bobwhite dreams come true!

Now here’s hoping the other one is a girl 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I give up on my chocolate Muscovy hens. After 1 day of having ducklings Tiramisu decided that the juvenile ducklings must be hers actually and she abandoned her kids. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thankfully Pudding Pop is an absolute unit of a mom. Though head count at sundown is a bit rough now with all the tiny zoomies. 😅

Holding on to the small moments of joy whenever they appear.

I wish to be as care free as a duckling playing in a muddy puddle.

While these aren’t the first ducklings hatched out this year they are the ones I’ve been waiting on the most.

Mainly because Nori decided to lay a nest in an empty planter on my deck. 😒

After over a month they’re finally here. Which means I can power wash my deck now. 🫠

The final chick has hatched. Five adorable fluff balls and one tired but happy hen. Darling did a fantastic job for a first time broody - staying with it for an extra week even! - so now we get to see how she does as a first time mom.

After an extra week (explanation to follow) my little Darling is almost done sitting on her nest and it sounds like the chicks are ready to meet her.

Did you know chicks will call to each other while hatching? It’s like they’re saying “We can do this!” Here’s hoping hatching goes well! 🤞🏽

I would like the record to show that she has access to a full pond that is less than a two minute walk away.
