I knew you would do a good sales job on the tanks. Now everyone will want some.

I'm already counting available square footage!

It was actually my wife who insisted to have some white ducks. I did not want to have Pekin ducks because of their size - we also have tiny, slim Runners - and their often occurring leg and joint problems, so we got the White Layers. They are like Pekins but in a smaller package…

I audibly cackled at "tank-duck" I know it probably is duckie lingo, but totally thought of the old world war II Duplex Drive tanks, which were nicknamed "Donald Duck" tanks..... which perfectly describes Basil as she runs. Lol

The »tank-duck« comes from the time when my Spring Ducklings were joining my four grown up Indian Runner ducks outside: The Runners were not very pleased that they have to share their home with the "newbies", there was a lot of biting and wrangling going on until the White Layers figured out that they are actually larger, heavier and stronger than the Runners. From then on they just walked straight to wherever they wanted to go and pushed the Runners out of their way like tanks push through brush. Therefore »tank ducks« or the »white panzer duck squadron«.
Now they are all best friends, hanging out together and messing up their environment.

I googled quax to give a definitive answer, to no avail. I'm sorry. I'm 3.5 weeks into duck lingo.

I call it »quaxing« because it is not really a "quack". It is more like a "peep, peep, peep, quax" when they start to develop their voices. Look at the video below ~1:30 in when i hand meal-worms to my ducklings and you will understand.

That's pretty cute, I hadn't noticed that before.
