I woke this morning to the first four ducklings. They had finally broken out of their shells. There are a few more that have broken shells but they are still trying to break out.
Lots of peeping going on!

On this very wet and rainy day Henny Penny brought her brood out and let them play in the water that flows down the ditch when it rains. Although she was soaked they were all happily playing. What a good mom she has been!
