Your ducklings are so cute, they should be banned, LOL, because now everybody will want some! Love the video. Are these your first ducks?

Never barefoot in our yard, too many cactus popping up (did you know chickens eat cactus and don't DIE?)

The kiddie pool is UP and been running already. I had it in the yard at first but there are so many "dust bath" area's I couldn't find a flat spot! I finally put it up on the deck. I put two ducklings in the pool - SO funny - of course they POOPED right away, I kept my hand just under the surface, and they "PADDLED OFF" in a hurry, turned around and came back to rest on my hand, dipped heads etc... then took off again - very cute - but I need to figure out a perm. little resting spot for them!

When I was just knee high to a grasshopper, we had ducks - two, one was my sisters and one was my brothers... needless to say, these little boogers make up for that!

could put a pile of rocks in there for them to harbor on, or something like that, walmart has river rock in bags but I don't know if they will eat them, they have nice colors in the mix the ducklings might be too curious and taste them.

I NEED some of those river rocks outside my garage door! (MUD - always MUD)

I look at them EVERY time we go to town, but my car is always LOADED down with groceries, kids and animal food

Every now and then we take the old gas guzzler to town when we buy fence posts or fencing - then I make sure to LOAD it up with food and junk as well.... next time rocks will be on the list.

I'm thinking I can build a pretty cute duck pond with cement and some of those rocks...... Not sure how well it would work, but it SOUNDS like a good idea!
