More spring at the farm...

 Here are some pictures of the baby animals around here.  Just now we only have ducklings, chicks, and puppies. 


These ducklings hatched this morning, and you can see places in the other eggs where the ducklings are pecking their way out.  This is actually a goose nest, but it's full of duck and chicken eggs, as we have two geese, not a goose and gander, so the eggs were infertile, so I gave the geese other eggs which I needed hatched.


Goosey didn't appreciate being pulled off her nest so that I could photograph "her" babies.

Another mother with some even more incongruous offspring...


She tried to teach them to dust bathe this morning, but they prefer the water.

Emaline and "Remington".
