What no pictures?
I know I was bad I didnāt take my phone with me. But the big ducks and them got to look at each other for a bit. I will get pictures tomorrow when I take them out.

Look at that crazy old pecker. It canāt hold a candle to the ducklings.
Iām sorry! Did a duck chase him?Thatās Chirpy!
Be nice to him, he had a rough day.
Bless him!Nope, it was his first day in the big coop..
The other guys did not like him.
You could, but it would serve the ducklings no purpose. They don't need dust or mud baths and they drill holes in the ground only to eat whatever critter wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. It is much better to make field-trips to the outside with them, so that they experience some fresh air as this will trigger the feather development. And regular bath-(tub-)time to turn on the preening gland, so they can waterproof themselves sooner.This makes me think of another question I have.
With chicks, I brought in outside dirt that they could pick through and dust bathe in. Is there something similar I can do for the ducklings? Can I bring in dirt and wet it down some or should I wait until they are old enough to clean themselves?
I brought in a big old chunk of earth, but it was covered with vegetation on top so I turned it over to expose the dirt, creepy crawlers, roots and such. They never did ādrillā in it and I wondered why. They just picked at it. And had fun doing it.You could, but it would serve the ducklings no purpose.
