Congrats! I understand the dancing in the rain! I am in Stuttgart and it got pretty bad for a little while. I have 8 ducks ( 4 mallards, 2 muskovy, 1 pekin, 1 fawn runner) I let them out of their houses around 6:30 each morning and they free range all day - while I'm at work. I put them in the pen around 7:30 and then lock them up for the night around 8:30 or so. I have never had a problem with them leaving my back yard - they never even go to the front yard, but yesterday the rain must have soaked their brains!! As I was driving home in the pouring rain, about 1/2 mile from my house, what do I see? all 8 of them swimming down the ditch that had filled with rain water!!! I went home, got my rubber boots, rain coat, etc. (not that it did any good - I still got soaked!) I had to park, get out, "herd" them back toward the house - get back in, move my vehicle, do it again....about 15 times - I very easily could have had roasted duck for supper - If I'd had any electricity!! Gotta love ducks!!
