This is possibly the easiest integration of poultry ever recorded.

For sure! I wish chickens were this easy!

Today I saw Gerty go up and start drinking from a vertical nipple bottle I have out hanging on a fence for whatever random chicken. She walked away from it, and one by one the other two walked up and took a drink. I've never heard of ducks drinking from a nipple bottle before, so that's news to me too!

@Jenbirdee, have you heard of ducks using nipples before? I don't have cups, these are nipples for chickens.

Wow! I’ve never heard of ducks doing this. But, that’s great!

They can, but they still need buckets to dunk heads in too, To clear the nares and eyes.

That’s best to know!
Never even thought about it, b/c they have the duck waterers and their pools.

Ducks Just absolutely love water any way they can get it ! Splash!
Do you remember that old song :

do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier? do your ears hang low?

Well, I changed the words.

Do your ducks eat slugs? flies and worms and other bugs? Can they turn a drop of water to a puddle full of mud? Do they quack and flap and splash you when you fill their swimming pool? Do your ducks eat slugs?

They have a bucket in their pen and a turtle pool a ways out. This was a pit stop on the way I guess lol.

Great song you came up with too!
