So much fun! I love when I can just relax and do that too. As for the drake feather, it kind of looks like one but when mine were at that silly age of losing their fuzz and getting feathers, there were a lot of crazy feathers. I didn't actually notice the drake feathers to be really prominent until a lot later. I can't believe they don't make that much noise! My Pekins are the noisiest, chattiest critters I have. They are starting to calm down a little though - they went through an especially noisy age at 3-5 months.I spent a few hours laying in the yard with my 3 older Pekins today.....it was a blast! I love it when they crawl all over me....rub up against me...eat grass and leaves right by my face....lay down right by my face.....all that great stuff.....I love me some ducks.....
