It's amazing that within a couple of days of hatching, ducklings are expected to make their way around the territory without hesitation or pause. Dolly's brood were in and out of the pond then back to the Poultry Palace for a brief snooze before being chaperoned off again round the stable yard, through the barns, up to the midden and past the piggies and then back to the Poultry Palace via the flower bed and water bowls (for Dolly's bath). And it's not even lunch time yet!
The second picture shows them (?) all fast asleep under Dolly in the straw. Incredible that 12 ducklings can fit so neatly under her tummy and wings - although she does look just a little bit 'fatter' than normal!
