My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you know anything about ducks, you know a baby duck will imprint itself on you. It misses its mother.
I had a few ducks as a kid.
It's like the brooding hen sitting over a china egg.
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
The gentleman puts me in mind of an old hen which persists in setting after her eggs are taken away.
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
A duck's nest was found today near the trail on the dry open prairie with as far as could be seen no water or marsh near. The bird flew off but could not tell what species. The eggs nine originally.
When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.
Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.
People eat duck and you think, well, we've got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone!
