Just like a little kid, when they don't feel good they want their mom.

I put the paint tray in the coop and took off the end panel. There are three little girls in there having a great time! It took just a few minutes and they were in it.

A paint tray sounds like a good container for them. What does your g-daughter think of the ducklings?

She hasn’t been out to see them yet, she’s been outside on her scooter and bicycle all day.

They are already running. They’re getting their balance and such and run like a tiny herd. It’s like watching a flock of birds run rather than fly. Ironically hubs wants one more lol.

I can see it now...before long you'll be trampled by a herd of small running ducks.

I took Hope out to meet the ducklings this afternoon. They are comfortable enough to get into our laps already and love to nibble toes; my wedding ring is a favorite target also. She was thrilled when they climbed into her hand and lap and really did a good job of sitting still. My son and DIL have two ducks, Muscovy, but they weren’t quite this tiny when they got them. The pool was a hit and will definitely need daily cleaning. At the rate they’re growing it won’t take long for them to outgrow it. As a next step I have a couple of large bowls but need to get the big round rock from the garden to put in it as a step out. As a mid growth pool my daughter is bringing home a kiddie pool one of her friends won’t be using and we can move it out to the yard later as a secondary pool during the summer. The primary pool is going to be a 70 gallon stock tank for sheep. Igor is going to put a drain in it so I can use the water for the oleanders and the xeriscape area. With a secondary pool out near the lemon tree I can use the water for the lemon tree and maybe in the shade garden as well. I’ll have to discuss that with hubs.
