Our little piece of heaven at Molaho has been bustling with amazing stories of motherhood lately, and I just had to share these heartwarming tales with all of you!

A Goose’s Heart Knows No Bounds πŸ₯
You won’t believe what happened with our sweet mama goose! After patiently sitting on her four eggs for what seemed like forever, we realized they weren’t going to hatch. But here’s where the magic happened – we brought her some baby geese, and oh my goodness, you should have seen her face! Without missing a beat, she welcomed these tiny fluff balls under her wings as if they were her very own. And get this – her protective partner jumped right into daddy duty! Now they’re like the perfect little family, waddling around together. Fair warning though – don’t get too close, or mom and dad will let you know you’re not welcome with their impressive warning calls!

The Mystery of the Disappearing Hen πŸ”
Now, here’s a story that had us worried sick! One of our six hens suddenly vanished without a trace. We searched everywhere, fearing the worst (especially since we’ve had visits from a sneaky mountain cat before). Weeks went by, and then… surprise! One rainy Saturday, we heard the tiniest “peep peep” sounds. There she was, hidden under a fallen tree with five precious babies! Talk about a plot twist! We quickly set them up in a cozy new home, but sadly, nature can be tough sometimes – we lost some of the babies. But here’s the beautiful part: when we brought her new chicks, this amazing mama opened her heart and wings to them all! She was a bit confused at first (wouldn’t you be?), but soon enough, she was snuggling them all like they were her own.

The Ongoing Battle πŸ€
We’ve been dealing with some unwanted guests – some pretty bold rats who’ve built their own underground city beneath our husbandry. We’re working on humanely relocating them far away where they can’t harm our feathered friends. It’s been a challenge, but we’re determined to protect our animal families!

A Duck’s Tale πŸ’”
Here’s a bittersweet story that tugs at our hearts. Our lovely duck couple has a beautiful floating nest (thanks to our talented engineer!) right in the middle of their pond. Mama duck laid four perfect eggs, but sadly, those sneaky rats found their way there too. By the time we discovered what happened, it was too late to bring her adoptive babies. You see, with ducks, timing is everything – their maternal instincts are strongest right after laying eggs, and introducing babies too late could actually be dangerous. While it makes us sad to see her without little ones, we know that’s just how nature works sometimes.

But through all these ups and downs, one thing remains clear – the incredible power of a mother’s love, even in our feathered friends. Whether it’s a goose, a hen, or a duck, these amazing creatures show us every day what unconditional love looks like. ❀️
