Oh, yes, nighttime chatter, sometimes an impromptu party or sumo wrestling match.
And with them in the basement half the year, and with me being a light sleeper when it comes to my critters, yes, I am aware of their nocturnal noises.
These include, of course, the occasional mutterings of Fünf or Sechs as they make up their minds about where to lay their eggs . . . for twenty minutes. And the discussions that go something along the lines of, "move off, I gotta lay my egg." "No. I gotta lay MY egg." "Right now, I mean it." "Go make your own spot." and so forth.
To the untrained ear, this would sound like a series of staccato waks.
Didn't mean to hijack. Love that layout, OldGuy43! And I appreciate your keeping us posted. It was a wild year, 2010, getting the runners and setting up their infrastructure. A real life-changer. Having the ducklings was beautifully intense. Having the ducks is a blessing and a joy.
