Well, considering what I had for dinner just last night...

But it is somehow different when they are babies, and when it eats twenty in one year. Three of my female ducks had each had about 4 ducklings, and not a single one lived over a month. One of them tried raising another group, but they too were eaten. She wandered around for a few days, looking very confused, quacking mournfully. It is one of the saddest things I have ever seen an animal do. This year I am keeping the mother and her (at least) 10 ducklings in the barn till they are big enough not to be swallowed whole.
