House of Babies

I'm starting to think we may have the most fertile house in the neighborhood!

It began in May when we found a rabbit hutch under our chimney. More accurately, Romper found a rabbit hutch under our chimney, but we don't need to go into that.

Then, the robin showed up, made a nest on the front porch and laid eggs. A while ago the hungry chicks hatched, and last week the chicks flew and I guess they've probably moved on now. We'll give it a few more days before we tear down the nest though, just in case.


Now, we have a mother duck and a nest chock full of eggs under a bush by our front porch!
The race is on to see which comes first--the ducklings or our baby!
