Rescue mission for 5 little ducklings and their new family roles

in #birds4 months ago

After the team finished their business, we welcomed five new members who brought joy to our home! They are the five little ducklings brought from the garden. It's a touching story because these ducklings were originally in the eggs that the white mother duck had been incubating for a long time. Yesterday, my husband and I went into the garden and noticed something unusual: a large number of ants walking around where the mother duck was incubating the eggs. Even more shocking, we heard the soft squeaking of the ducklings! We followed the sound and discovered that one of the duck eggs had a slight crack. Numerous black ants were swarming both inside and outside. Upon seeing this, my husband and I carefully peeled the egg shell off, brushing off any ants that had gathered inside. The little ducklings squealed with delight at being rescued.
We spent quite a bit of time freeing the remaining ducklings from the eggs before attempting to return them to their mother. They were circling around not far away, but it seemed that the mother duck was not going to incubate the eggs anymore. She chose to fly away in another direction. So we decided to change our plan. We originally planned to bring them to the restaurant to raise, but because the ducklings were still weak and needed warmth all the time, luckily we still had 2 kind mother hens who were incubating the eggs, so we tried to bring the ducklings to these mother hens to help incubate them.
