The sitting duck (in the old duck house, top floor) is ravenously hungry.  When I fed her this evening she covered her nest with straw and feathers to keep the eggs warm and then jumped off the pile to come over to the dish and eat, eat, eat.  It looks as though I am giving her “celebrations chocolates” but that is actually the container for her water.  When and if she hatches some ducklings then I might give her a celebratory box of chocs…..but probably not.
