We released the 4 week old ducklings for a day on the pond, and to our surprise one of our geese, Tiny, immediately went to them and adopted them as her own. She made sure they stayed close to her, and defended them from us, the dogs, the other ducks, and even the other geese. They have decided she is a Good Thing, and stick close to her. (Mind you, there were five to start with, and the next morning there were only four.)
