First time letting momma try to hatch ducklings.

I wondered about my drake being aggressive towards the babies. He seems to just be interested in showing dominance. Once or twice mama came after him like nothing I have ever seen before. That said, the babies were small enough to leave the pen through the wire to escape the pressure. That wont be an option soon, they are growing. And I have to build them a larger pen in the yard - they are in the garage currently.

So cute! What kind are they?

Austrailian spotted. They are bantam and they are adorable and sweet.
