The duck was a fair bit luckier than the turkey with her clutch of eggs and this morning appeared with 12 or 13 ducklings, considering that 13 is an average clutch size, she did quite well. She was such an excellent brooder going for what seemed like weeks without visiting the pond. We may have to try and catch the males and keep them away from the pond for a spell as they are not at all gentle with the ducklings.
