Inexperienced duck keeper checking in with experienced duck keepers

True, but back to ducks, they are good at sifting through mud for bugs if you spray water in the dirt

But once they see how much deep dirt your spade can turn over they want you to turn the top 8" of soil so they can dig there instead of in the surface.

Maybe this year's flock hasn't realized yet the possibilities of laziness
