Do you think she knows?
Check out that Muscovy duck in the cover photo. She's almost looking at her eggs the same way that a pregnant woman looks at her growing belly. Do you think she knows? Anyway, whether the duck knows or not, we sure know what comes next, and there is certainly an excitement and joy that arrives each time a tiny duckling hatches.
LOOK AT THEM ALL
Down on the @bluerthangreen & @allforthegood homestead, there are a lot of Muscovy ducks. A lot of them are females, and a lot of the females are currently sitting on eggs. Soon, an entire generation of new Muscovies will be unleashed on their homestead and the process can start again. Here's a few photos of some more expectant mothers.
WHAT'S NEXT?
You know what's next, a whole pile of cute, fine-feathered faces. Here is a sneak preview!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

well @papa-pepper each and every photographer clicks a photo but your photos could clearly depict the emotions in the pics . I really could figure out the love in the duck for its eggs. Keep up the good work you just keep uploading your blogs I am a great fan of your blogs.

This is the rule of nature, every mother loves her pre-born baby..
The baby's are too close to mother rather than father.
This rules apply for both human and animals..

Great post and pictures!
In Florida where I used to live people would feed them tons of bread. That resulted in them pooping all over the walkway. I guess on a farm they’re much better.
Steem on :)

They are much better here, and the little ones are fly-eating machines!

Hello @papa-pepper
The preparations for @stemng meetup kept me away from this blog for sometime. Really glad the meetup was finally held yesterday and I am fully back now. How are my @little-pappers 😂? Hope they are cool as always.
The love of mothers to their offspring cut across all species and creatures. It is certainly amazing. Kudos for spotting this and sharing it.
Regards
@eurogee of @euronation and @steemstem communities

AWWW!
So cute! The babies will be so hard to resist playing with after they hatch. Same with the baby chicks.

So awesome!!! I want some ducks! My cousin lives near Lake Tahoe, on the Nevada side, and he has a large property with goats, ducks, and other critters. Reminds me a little bit of your property. Although he doesn't have a garden, because his neighbors have a massive garden and they share everything with him. lol

Oh my gosh yes it was amazing, he is the oldest cousin on my mom's side. We had a huge family reunion at his house last summer it was amazing! He is also a Chef but he does it for a living, I was his sous chef for the time. So fun! We ate very well that is for sure. lol

Wow!! Always stumble on something to hold on to. @papa-pepper Is the brooding period similar to that of hen?

Longer. I think Muscovy ducks may be the longest poultry here.

I need to get some muscovies. I have Pekins and Buffs now but Muscovy are the best dual purpose breed as they are great for meat and eggs.

Yup - great for both, plus quiet. How are your Pekins on noise?

They are not that loud. The buffs are louder as they have a sharper quack. The pekins are huge though and are seriously the best meat duck as they grow super fast. I got these beginning of May and they are already butcher weight.

That is quite a maternity ward there, @papa-pepper! If they all start hatching around the same time, it will be an amazing site!

Sure she knows. Chicks make noise in the egg before hatching. You can hear eggs cheap. I know chicken eggs cheep or chirp, I am not quite sure if duck eggs quack. This is actually fairly common and easy to hear. When one hatches out eggs in an incubator, you have hundreds of eggs and before any of them have hatched, one can hear faint cheeps, before the shells are broken.
