these two are just the cutest darned things I have ever seen...he rarely leaves her...a bit ago I went to check on them she is on the eggs and he was sitting beside her very quietly...last evening when she took a stroll to eat and bathe, he dutifully sat on the nest...their bond and behavior is very endearing...

well...the pair are the proud parents of ten baby Muscovies...black and white, blue and white and white...they are totally adorable...as soon as I can get near them, I will get pics...parents are being very protective...Esme is hysterical...when I get near her, her hair stands on end and she starts walking around sort of squatted down with her tail feather spread out and her wings wide...she is trying to bait me away from the nest...daddy just hisses and spits and swears and makes threatening gestures...OMG they are so adorable...and the babies are all in a pile in the nest being still and quiet as per mommas direction as she leads me away from them...ya just have to love them...
