She was happily watching the chickens attack them, when the ducklings were trying to run to who ever they could for warmth, they are still very unsteady on thier legs, stumbling over, and if I didn't move them, they would have been picked off quite quickly by the carions crows and magpies
My other ducks have been great mothers, very protective and shielding them well, but this mum was far too relaxed!
I wouldn't have taken them if I thought they weren't in any danger.
Ahhh right, I was just wondering. You did the right thing then good luck with them
