Guess what hatched yesterday?
Our Gamehen's baby duckling!
It is one of the cutest things.
It started hatching yesterday morning, but didn't get out until late afternoon, then, throughout the rest of the day it was so sleepy -hatching is hard work! -So, I haven't taken any pictures until this morning. :)
I've named her Dr. Catharine Halsey.
I say 'her' but with my luck, it's probably male.
Anyways, so the little duckling -Cathy -and her Momma just got moved into a pen outside.
Can't you just see the resemblance?
Cathy is doing good -the only problem with her is her legs; their a little splayed. She has a bit of trouble walking, though, as long as nothing is wrong internally, she'll probably out-grow it.
She's a very cute little thing, I'll give her that much. And her Momma takes good care of her.

The pigeon Luke wasn't very interested in all this.
He's just jealous.
