6 weeks ago a fox broke in and killed 5 out of our 6 ducks.

Miraculously, the one that survived continued to lay (fertile) eggs and got broody.

Diligently, Ginger sat on her nest for weeks, and today her first two ducklings hatched. Hopefully a few more to come - but we feel so blessed that her lineage was so close to wiped-out and now can continue.

That's pretty awesome.

The annoying thing about a fox is that they usually only take 1 bird but just pointlessly kill the others.

I'd mind less if they killed 1 & took it home to eat.
