Seven 'Swell Kids' in Spite
Of Mallard's Broken Home
They never knew their
father. He left a long time
before they were born.
They didn't even live with
their mother very long, not
long enough to learn some of
the things she could have
taught them. They could
truthfully be said to have
come from a "broken home."
They were very young
when circumstances forced
them out on their own, yet
there wasn't a juvenile de
linquent in the entire family
of seven youngsters. These
children, seven baby mallard
ducks, were hatched in a nest
located nearly a mile from
the nearest pond.
Just why Mrs. Mallard built
her nest so far inland is a
mystery, but her husband may
have been the cause. He had
been born in the vicinity, so
he wanted to locate there.
Too bad Mrs. Mallard listened
to him for he deserted her
and the potential family short
ly after the eggs were laid.
For nearly a month, the
drab-colored female incubated
the eggs with no help from
her husband. It wasn't that
she expected any help, but
he could have dropped by
once or twice to see how
things were coming and to
acknowledge the fact that lie
had had a little something to
do with this family.
Some Excuse
Of course, to his credit, let
for as the summer progressed
he lost his flight feathers as

well as his brilliant plumage.
For a couple of months, while
the flight feathers were grow
ing in, he was as colorless as
his wife. He might have been
a little ashamed at such a
time, for before he had been
a pretty flashy dresser. So he
hid himself until the feathers
grew in again in the wings.
By hiding and looking so
drab, he escaped being so
easily seen by enemies.
He didn't know or care
when the eggs hatched or
when his fluffy, flat-footed
offspring were ready to leave
the nest. He didn't know,
either, that each baby duck
had a sharp, hard horn on the
upper mandible of its bill
called an egghorn that made
the first break in the hard
shell.
After that, by stretching
his wings, legs, and body the
baby split open the shell and,
wet and weak, floundered
around in the feathers of the
nest. All seven baby ducks
hatched within an hour; then,
for the first time, they heard
their mother "speak."
Female Talk
Ioor little things, they
didn't know that mother's
voice was louder and harsher
than their father's would
have been, for it's the female
mallard that does the "talk
ing." She speaks in a husky
voice - more of a croak than
a quack. Mr. Mallard has all
the beauty plus the soft voice.
It's Mrs. Mallard that suf
fers from an inferiority com
plex, possibly because she
has to always wear such a
drab, brown dress, while her
husband dresses flashily. She
may even be a little jealous
of his stylish and beautiful
clothes.
But on this day, the time
of the birth of the family,
Mrs. Mallard forgot every
thing except the necessity of
getting her youngsters to the
nearest water. The lake was
a mile away, a very long way
for seven newly hatched
ducklings. The young s t e r s
didn't know where they were
going, or why. But like well
behaved children, they fol
lowed where mother led them.
Peculiar that such creatures
should be so obedient and so
everlastingly good, inasmuch
as they did come from a
"broken home."
