Then she and her mate (also rescued) went to bed when I told them to lol.

    My birds lay so many eggs. The one duck, named Mama Duck, steals all the eggs and hides them for a while before sitting on them. She gets very aggressive when I try to take them, so I have to put a bucket on her head and move her outside. I got 20 eggs from her yesterday and almost all of them had developing embryos. She hid them for so long. Idek where she puts them. I check for eggs every day. I can’t afford more birds, so I had to throw the eggs away. Made me a bit sad, but the embryos weren’t that far along.

      That is sad, I’m sure. One of the hardest things about animal rescue and care is knowing your limits. Stretch yourself too thin and you’re not able to help as much anymore.
