Hello everybody and @photofeed it's been a while since I wrote in this wonderful community. I missed to share the kind of wildlife in our place 😊. But now I'm back with mother's duck kind of motherhood journey. And today I'm taking it to the next level as my son helped mother duck to survive her ducklings.

First of all maybe you're wondering what we are doing to the eggs if we can naturally come out on its own. Well it's not the first we did such things, the first we let come out on its own it was dead inside. And it's hard to loose, because instead of having many ducks around the chances of survival becomes low. My son was doing the birth thing he saw that on his father. At first I wasn't agree on what they are doing but as the years goes by I noticed the comparison. And the most important the umbilical cord once it's not full term we will be the one to kill the little ones.

The need is to be sure that they need help. If my son saw a crack on the egg he will pull some pieces and bring it back to mother duck. Then afterwards he'll remember what time he went maybe after one or two he'll go check the eggs again. Ohh it's like a 24 hours of labour actually. Then after if see some changes he pull so pieces until it's free to come out.
