That is Greta, my Black Swedish. I only really noticed it about 6 months ago, but since then we have seen in videos going all the way back to the brooder, she doesn't like Tevye much. But the only ducks that ever pick on Tevye are Greta and Kaine (the obvious hormonal drake in the video). Tevye also inexplicably doesn't like Tella (one of my Rouen girls) and will peck her whenever she is in range. It is funny because Greta's sister (quite possibly literally since the Blue Swedish color comes from black and silver and doesn't breed true) Roxette is Tevye's #2 snuggle bug. (Rhiannon our WH is #1). If you pay attention, a flock this size is a real soap opera. The flock acts as a whole to all external stimuli, but within the flock there are alliances and rivalries. Some ducks are very set while others play up to who is around them.I love watching their little paddles underwater! <3 Also, was that dark one trying to mate with Tevye, or just picking on him? No one picks on my Tevye!

Yeah, how DO you clean that thing, anyhow?
All tracked in https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/966725/1900-gallons-of-ducky-blissI think it will be less work overall (more work less often) than the kiddie pools, but we will see.
Not taken wrong at all, just I am going to document taking care of the pool in that other thread. I am lucky in two ways regarding the pool.Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great pool for them and I wish I could do something like that for mine!

Niiiiiiice <3 Hehe that really is ducky heaven! I love hearing about these squabbles, it's just too funny! I didn't think Tevye was capable of disliking anyone. Oh, well. Does he still do that thing where he steps on the gravel bowl?
Weeeeeeeee - this is why I love ducks. Zooming around using their webs and just floating and mating of course. Loved the runners in the background on the ground walking by. Tevye needs KISSES.@Amykins This is a repost from "1900 gallons of ducky bliss", but it has a beautiful Tevye "freak out". Since you are a fan and it is a happy/silly video, I thought you might enjoy if you didn't catch it there...
Thanks to my wife, Tevye is the most kissed duck in the universe... He has no worries thereWeeeeeeeee - this is why I love ducks. Zooming around using their webs and just floating and mating of course. Loved the runners in the background on the ground walking by. Tevye needs KISSES.
