In reply to Lynn.

The Blue Swedish is still a bit gimpy, but seems to be coping. The older Blue Swedish weren’t overly into water either, until they went into the pond. The older ducks are doing fine; Bert seems to have stopped picking on others, as far as I’ve seen. Bert is indeed changing color, as are some others (you can see him in the pond in the “splashes” picture); I’ll try to get better pictures of them for Flock Friday.
