I was hand feeding some peas and corn to my girls and two of them walked up right to me but the third sat in the back for a little. When the other two walked away, I showed her some and dropped them in the water and she came. Then as I continued to hand feed her head and neck started vibrating...
They’ve been outside all today today (90 degrees) and have been panting all day long. They eat and drink normally and I also let them swim for a little. Is it okay for them to paint all day?

I’m getting ready to have my ducklings spend their nights outside. They’ve had the heat lamp on since they got here and I’m worried about how they’ll react to the dark. I turned the lights off in my room for about an hour and a half and they didn’t make a sound and didn’t get up to eat and drink...
