Took the 'kiddie pool' plunge instead; I chickened out.

Is there a color that ducks are preferential to for feeder color? Asking for my wife.

I have no idea!

Ok, first week is under way, with the ducks arriving early last Friday (so five days so far). Enjoying the ducks, but it feels like we've had them for two weeks. Maybe because of how much personality they are developing. Three more should arrive tomorrow (24th), so teaching them to eat and drink like the first four will be in order. Pretty sure that a separate brooder box from the first four is a requirement as well. I swear they double in volume every day. Very pleased with the general personality of the Indian Runner as it is just as expected; slightly shy at first and then very inquisitive.
