We have 10 duck eggs by our porch!
We have some mallard ducks that wander around the neighborhood. The other day we noticed that there was a nest and an egg right by our porch. We've watched as the past 10 days a mother duck has been coming and going, laying an egg each day. Yesterday she started sitting on them and incubating them. We are so excited to see the cute little ducklings we'll have soon! They say it takes 28 days for them to hatch. Hopefully she won't get scared off especially since it's right by our front door!

We feel very lucky that a mother duck chose our yard to make her nest!
We'll keep you updated!
This is so cool! I've never heard of a duck nest in a yard. I bet that is going to be so fun/interesting to watch.
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm jealous.
