Duck family delays restaurant patio opening in Maine

PORTLAND, Maine - A family of ducks delayed a restaurant in Maine from opening its patio. A mother duck decided to turn the wood-fired pizza cauldron at Flatbread Company in Portland into her nest.

The restaurant shared some happy news on Wednesday.

"The (13!) ducklings have hatched and plopped into the ocean this morning!" Flatbread Company posted to Facebook. "We are some lucky ducks!!"
