My knowledge is limited to very few areas.

That's a good question, and one I would hope the answer is it just likes you and is comfortable. However, my pekin don't like me at all, and never do that. Lets call in a few other with more experience than I have.

@Miss Lydia @rjohns39 @HuffleClaw @Jpat
Can you guys provide some assistance please.

Just to let you know. You'll likely draw more attention to your question posting a new thread either in the duck sub-forum.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/
Or maybe even in the chicken behaviors sub-forum. (there is no duck behaviors area)

You'r more than welcome to wait for help here though.

Pretty good, getting stuff done around the house. Almost time to go out and feed the birds and pigs and not looking forward to that with the heat. How's your day been?

It's been pretty good so far. I'm working on collecting hatching eggs (from others) for my first incubation. You could say I've been living out my feathered fantasies today lol.

It's hot here too! Felt like taking a swing of save-a-chick myself today!

Sounds like she's squatting.

Sounds like she's squatting.

Would that be a reproductive "presentation" posture?
When I googled it, only thing to come back was some bodybuilding "ducks foot squat" form.
