LouLou trying to get to the nest.
This might be hard to see, but the duck is on the right beside the turkey and LouLou is on the left.
LouLou coming out.
The female duck made because LouLou is on the nest!
What problems do you have in your garden?? Bugs, dogs, cats....well my problem this year is a certain duck and LouLou the turkey!!
This all started afew weeks ago when the female duck decided to lay another nest of eggs in my flower garden! She ripped out the lilies and made a nest out of them! Since she is a type of mallard I didn't mind too much. She's beautiful and so are her babies. I love having them wandering around the farm. So at first not a big deal until LouLou the turkey decided that this nest was perfect for laying her eggs too! At first I thought she just wanted to sit on the nest and would push the duck out of the way. Dan then noticed that she was also laying eggs in the nest. (Too bad we don't have a male turkey so her eggs are infertile). It's been a battle here for at least three weeks while her and the duck take turns/fight or this next! I keep kicking LouLou off but she is determined! Then she'll go a couple days leaving the duck alone until she decides to lay another egg. I'm hoping the eggs while hatch soon and I can have my flower bed back!! Not only do I have to settle fights between the kids, the animals are having a hard time sharing too!
