duckling stomping

[finneasW]

My khaki campbell duckling has been doing this stomping motion occasionally after getting in the water. None of the other ducklings do it though. It’s SUPER cute and I’m wondering if she’s doing this because she’s excited, trying to swim, etc? Or maybe there’s no reason? Just curious. Thanks! (Had to make it a youtube link so I could attatch it as a video)

They will do it in mud puddles too stirring up the water to bring tasty things to the surface. That is adorable

They are so funny when they stamp their feet like that. My son's pekins love doing it in mud when I have just emptied out the pool and am refilling it. they get coved in splashed mud like only white ducks can do, and then get in the clean water in the pool and muddy it up again!!!
