Yikes. What a scenario. You are so funny.that they were not strange just disgusting. Covered in that gross goop from the bottom. And the smell. Uggg! They were very proud of themselves. They destroyed all the plants and didn't even touch the duck weed that was for them.
But again you can always crate them and put your feet up and drink tea or something stronger (much stronger). You will calm down and can then mutter under your breath (or out loud if it makes you feel better) while spending the next hour cleaning up the mess that was made.
And you won't be visited by social services for crating your ducks. Lol
It'll get better. Mama said there'd be days like this. You will look back at this and laugh. Really. Hugs.
