Watch our newest ducklings eating and drinking while peeping, with the older ducks quacking in the background... then cut to the older ducks eating, which is quite the contrast.

Listen to the peeping and watch the wobbliness of our new day old ducklings.

No pictures this time, just some musing. As we see Bert’s behavior towards the other ducks, and think about potential problems as the other males mature, both in terms of fighting and over-mating, we’re regretting trying to get balanced sexes… more so since we ended up with two male Rouens instead of one of each gender.

So, tonight while Jenn and I were standing on the pond deck after watching an example of that kind of behavior, we were seriously thinking about whether or not it’d be sensible to buy more ducklings now.

Since the new ducks are now in the pond, I could get more ducklings, all…

Betty and a Rouen wrestling, then Cora uses a rock to slide into the pond. It looks like that's a frequent route.
