Compassion for nature is a quality that is taught from older generations..... You and the crew did good.

Thanks for your nice words Bluechip and Ratdog. Many lessons were learned from this experience. Mother Nature has her ways that we don't always understand.

As a result of this experience our daughter and her family are ordering some Mallard eggs to hatch in an incubator and raise.

Don't forget the brooder box. Raised some geese one time that was an experience
