She's in a big square garbage can! LOL

In winter the ducks usually all sleep in a XL dog igloo inside their secure night pen. But when Chrissy went broody she took the whole igloo over. I put a smaller dog house and the garbage can on its side in the run for the other ducks to use. When the weather is warm they sleep where ever, but they go for shelter in the rain or cold.

Lexus started hoarding eggs inside the garbage can while Chrissy still had her brood in the dog igloo. When I finally sold Chrissy and her youngsters (except for 1 drake), we picked up the garbage can duck, eggs and all and moved it in to the night pen.

So naturally when the first duck hatched we named him OSCAR :D

Oh! And Shelley is sitting on a nest in the little dog house. I guess the first drake that hatches from her clutch will have to be name Fido :D

Still only 2 ducklings. She is still sitting on that nest and the eggs don't look bad. We just have a really staggered hatch. Oscar and Bert are doing well, but WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?!?!?!
