Mrs Covey by dkbarnett

Mrs Covey

I have no idea where her nest is but it is in there somewhere. I feel a bit sorry for Mrs Covey (muscovy duck) because no matter how long she sits she isn't getting any ducklings! Her mate is a pekin. While she is sitting he gets a bit lonely so we have put a mirror down by the pond for him. Before that he was walking up to the shed and pacing up and down in front of the window looking at his reflection.
He's so vain, he probably thinks this photo is about him

Is the Peking a female, not sure why she can't have any ducklings! It's a thank.ess task being a woman sometimes!

I glad you liked the narrative about Mrs Covey (the muscovy) and her mate Peterkin (pekin). Mrs Covey is female and Peterkin is male. Apparently sometimes they can cross breed but probably only a 40% chance and the ducklings themselves are infertile. This is the third year they have been together and no luck so far so I don't think anything is going to happen!!
