Bev the Barnevelder went broody. I offhandedly popped two duck eggs under her. One fresh, the other from the fridge! Both were fertile. Duckling one hatched this morning, the other has internally pipped.
Unfortunately Bev is repeating her chick attacking behavior. Last time she actually ate a chick! Fortunately Dottie has been nest sharing the last few days and has taken over the mothering duties. Bev had been relieved of her duties.
