11 very special babies were born early this morning at MetroWest Medical Center in Natick, Massachusetts. This mother duck gave birth to 11 ducklings in a sunken courtyard. They were stuck running in circles because they could not get out, so an employee on the night shift walked them through the hospital to safety.
