here's my little Mocha hatching her last batch of ducklings:

and here's her seven beautiful babies:

Doody, we don't think she wandered away...

the idjit we got her from had CLIPPED one of her wings (something I never do, my ducks STAY because they LIKE it here on my farm!)

you can see in the photo above that her flight feathers are missing on one side.

we think our Mocha got caught by a Jaguarundi (a small puma) and I still miss her every day, when I go out to toss corn and cabbage, and don't see her pretty face.
