Oh no, I hope you're wrong about Joan! She is the smallest of the 4 so hopefully, that is a good sign that she's not a boy. Both of yours don't put up with Sambo a bit and aren't shy about going right after him. I was shocked when I saw it. I was sure it would be Sambo going after them but he runs away from them scared to death like a big old sissy.They are all turning into such beautiful ducks, I just love seeing them
They never do want to cooperate for picture time...i have so many pictures of just duck butts while their ignoring me and foraging, haha.
Little Sheldon looks just like her mom! I have a funny feeling Joan may be a boy :/ She/ he looks exactly like Stuart did as a young duck and he used to chase the girls around the pool nipping at their tail feathers...I so hope I'm wrong.
That's fantastic they are haning out next to the big ducks and giving Sambo a talking to when neededKeeping you busy with all the seperate pools, food and water for sure.
We sure should come visit soon!
I've gotten a routine down now with the 3 separate areas for them so it's become easier every day. The kids march out to their little area first in the morning. I put out their food bucket and shut their gate. Then I open the big pen and the girls head right out to the outside run. Their food bucket goes out. Then I grab Sambo and put him in the inner run with the kids. His food bucket goes out. I collect the eggs, clean out the pens and that's it for the day. I clean all the water buckets and pool the night before so it's really just about 10 minutes total in the morning and everyone is settling into the area and routine. You know how they like routine!
