After all the whacked out weather the last two months, I have FINALLY got the tackle boxes and poles out.

Do any of you do "fun things" with your ducks?
Take them anywhere with you?
Walk them?
Take them to places away from home?

I just feel bad for the chickens as they only get to dig, bathe (in dirt), walk, eat and drink all day, everyday.
My chickens already have the following:
