...new ducks acquired and home. Oddly really nervous about getting them! Main concern was not getting them to do a Campbell and scale the 6ft fence.... Thankfully it was evening so I just put them safe in their house. Came to check on them this morning to a right old commotion of quacking. When door was opened they all ran to the back of the house, huddled together and took it in turns to be the 'middle' one protected by the others! Very cute until the little so and so gave me a peck when I put my hand in! Anyway, they all dived out and ran chaotically around their pen area comically falling in their water and food, scarily running into the fence and trapping themselves between house and fence. So they've been left to 'settle.' The fun of course will come tonight trying to get them back into the house.... Oh well, they have to learn and I have to teach them, let battle commence!
There are 5 of them - all Indian Runners. A trout drake and girl, a white girl, mallard and fawn coloured girlies. Only 16 weeks old and still got a belly of lovely duckling down. Fingers crossed....
Will update more once I've got them reasonably settled!
