Just wanted to share with other duck lovers

My ducks don't really like any treats, except for minnows. They go a bit CRAZY over minnows. They fish them out of the pond whenever they free range and whenever free ranging isn't an option, like now, since I am treating Honey Boo Boo (Pekin) for bumblefoot, we fish for them or buy some at our local sportsman's store. I purchased a couple dozen 2 days ago and have kept them in this Styrofoam cooler. They quickly learned this was where they're kept last night as I gave them some while soaking Honey's foot. I guess the temptation was too much. Can you spot the culprit?

I have removed the overwhelming temptation and the Styrofoam she chipped away. I'm confident that if any was consumed, it was minimal. Of course I'll keep a close eye on Tom, my precious little buff Duck <3 and the others (they were not near her whenever I came out and discovered this).

Your babies look just as clever and goofy as my girls (two Muscovy ducks named Donald and Mimi -both turned out to be girls, but the grandchildren had already named them so the names stuck). BTW Does it get cold where you are ? how do they deal with winter ? I am in Canada, and this is my first winter with ducks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
