Cute - Baby Ducks Raised by Mother Hen

The duck eggs were put under the chicken hen to hatch, and once they were hatched the duck decided to help raise them, so it's a two-mother deal for the 10 ducklings.

Joint mothering must be wonderful for the babies.

I imagine the hen standing on the edge of the pond while the duck teaches them how to swim.

I have strange thought patterns......or so I've been told.

I'm so envious, she always knows the right thing to say!

I'd love to have a duck pond and some chickens, but it wouldn't fit our lifestyle.

I wonder if they'll taste like chicken.

And cluck.

That is so neat!

I'm guessing they hatched out and saw the hen, thought that was mother, and they are chickens, and then Auntie Jemima came along.
