    Depressed Duck? Or just lonely?

    I guess I feel kind of intimidated by starting with an adult/adolescent duck. I'll talk to the hubby about it. At least that way we should be able to know if we're getting a female or not! We were planning on getting babies in the spring. Our downstairs level is even with the ground, so no...
