Silly Duck

[tia]

This morning I couldn't find my silly black runner. I am looking all over the garage as I am collecting eggs from the pen and feeding the ducks and giving them more water. I was out there about ten minutes looking for her. Finally I heard a little quack and saw the half filled bag of pine shavings move. I opened the bag and there she was as content as could be, she had made her self a nice deep pine shaving bed. I guess she was trying to get a little bit of quiet away from the rest of the flock... or perhaps trying to go broody... maybe.

Awww. Glad you found her fairly quickly.

I have a chocolate runner, elf (German for eleven). She is the smallest of the brood, always a few days behind everyone in development (though she is rapidly catching up). She sometimes hangs back a bit, as if the other, bigger, louder runners were just too much for her mood at the moment. I am pleased to report that she seems more capable by the day of holding her own at the salad frenzy or pea party, elbowing in with the rest of them sometimes. But once she has had her fill, she quietly walks over to a corner of the brooder and plunks down, quietly watching the others with her ever-peaceful gaze.

How cute!

When I first glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it said "Silky Duck" - I had to do a double-take after reading the first post.

I guess they like their privacy as much as anyone else!
