Description
It had to happen I suppose. While exploring the hotel gardens at their leisure one of the ducklings headed for the infant pool. It was strange to see mum's reaction to her floating babies! She clucked loudly like an alarm call. Then she watched them for a while. i thought she was going in too for a moment! Then she headed off away calling them out from a distance. It seemed a reluctant exit as they slowly went to mum. Then they went back to following the scratching way of life. She kept well away from the pool area after that, seeing it as a threat in some way perhaps!

So cute!
Very cool...
Lol superb capture my friend. Must have been very confusing for the hen. God bless.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen ducks (of the non-rubber variety) in a swimming pool. Cool, fun shot well-captured...
How terribly confusing for mum! I hope you have more!
Hehe! If they end up crossing the breeds, we'll get less fatty duck or more rich chicken :)
Fantastic capture once again !
Adorable. It is interesting that chickens are actually good swimmers too.
Ha! So they did find water after all! Wonder what the surrogate mom is thinking! Great sequel to the previous shot!
I guess the DNA will out, eh? Hopefully they'll remain friends even after the ducks have grown up!
I have heard of this before, cool shot.
or a gamey chicken. I have never seen a chicken caring for ducklings. the water must have really confused her pea size brain superb and unique capture
Very cute picture, and humorous dilema.
