It is confirmed!! The mama duck hatched at least 2 chicks! (I stuck a bunch of chicken eggs under her, because we don't have a male duck so her eggs would not hatch)
I suspected I heard peeping a couple days ago, but I had been afraid to check because last year she flung poop at me - an *incredibly* effective defense strategy.
Also, I need to sell some goats.
So. Many. Goats. (Livestock guardian dog doesn't mind being outnumbered)
