Farm Fresh: Ducklings and Hail

After 35 long days of sitting Perry hatched 3 ducklings.  I think I let her sit on too many eggs.  I candled them around day 10 and took out the dead ones, but she still had about 15 or so under her. I knew it would be impossible for a small gal like her to keep that many warm, but it was hard to choose which ones to discard since I knew they were all alive. 

We had some hail last week. I was worried that it would damage my plants, but it didn't. The shower was brief and the stones not too big.
