Yoshi, her faithful partner, keeps a close watch over the nest, ensuring everything stays peaceful. Keep an eye on our feathered family as they prepare for parenthood!

Fun Facts About Pet Duck Nesting:

1. Architect Moms: Ducks are natural builders! They create cozy nests from straw, leaves, and their own feathers to keep their eggs snug and warm. Talk about DIY experts
2. Patience is Key: The incubation period for duck eggs ranges from 26 to 35 days. It can vary by breed and weather, but these moms know just how to keep things perfect
3. Eggsperts in Turning: Ducks frequently turn their eggs to ensure each one gets an even amount of warmth, critical for the little ones developing inside
4. Temperature Check: Ever wonder how ducks keep their eggs at just the right temperature? They can actually feel slight differences with their bellies and adjust accordingly
5. Rare Breaks: Once they start brooding, ducks hardly ever leave their nest. Quick trips for food, water, and a bath are all they take before rushing back
6. Humidity Heroes: Unlike their chicken cousins, ducks sometimes wet their feathers to add essential humidity to their nest, helping their ducklings develop properly
7. Soothing Sounds: Listen for soft clucks and coos! Broody ducks make these gentle noises to possibly communicate with and stimulate their developing ducklings
8. Synced Hatching: Ducks cleverly manage to have all their eggs hatch around the same time, even if they were laid days apart, ensuring no duckling is left behind
9. Cleanliness is Key: Remarkably, ducks keep their nests exceptionally clean. They avoid soiling the area, ensuring a hygienic environment for their ducklings. This helps prevent diseases and keeps the nestlings healthy
10. Posthatch Pampering: After the eggs hatch, mama duck doesn't just up and leave. She stays to warm her ducklings and any unhatched eggs until they're ready to venture out
