A slightly different perspective on the story.

I keep trying to explain this to my wife, thanks for posting a resource.. Duck daycare for the win.

Clarity, thanks. It’s communal duckling daycare, called a crèche — the oldest/near oldest hen (great grandma?) cares for the crèche while the other mommas are off doing their thing....finding food, going to the featherdresser, cleaning the nest, having some afternoon delight with the neighbor’s drake.

But cute, nevertheless.

That’s interesting. Before I clicked on it I thought it was going to say the other mother[s] had simply ducked when the photo was taken. ;-)
