Ducklings day 57: we don’t need no stinkin’ duck house

The ducks all spent the night outside again, as I expect will be the norm going forward. They slept on the pond and on the bank by the pond deck, which is one of Bert’s favorite spots.

I gave them treats from the pond deck again last night:

When I visited on morning rounds, I found them all on the bank by the pond deck:

I rearranged the run a bit to provide more shade without having to move the shade panel to access the duck house, which was probably a waste of time, since they’ve found their own shady spots:

I’ll probably remove the temporary run this weekend, if they’re done with it.

They explored the back lawn a little:

  2. I look forward to your pictures of the new duck family each night while I eat dinner. It doesn’t take much to amuse me during the pandemic. 😊

    I looked back at Bert’s baby pictures. So cute! I’m glad he is around to show the new kids how to be a duck.

    1. Thanks! I’m planning to stop the daily duckling posts soon, now that they’re in the pond… but I’ve been enjoying them so much, I’m not sure when. There will always be Flock Friday.
