First death on the smallholding

My First death was my 5 year old female duck - the original lady of the ducks. She was my first duck. She was fine an hour ago and then suddenly just flopped and then died in my arms. Feels sad her being my first duck. Francis the drake was looking a little sad this evening. Rip Duck you gave me loads of lovely baby ducks.

I checked on Francis after sorting female duck to find a chicken has made a nest in the duck house. The Chicken has taken half the duck house up and the ducks bless them are squashed in the other half. Francis and crew havent tried moving her from their house. Dare they.......................

Makes me start thinking - do I have a broody hen amongst the ducks???
