All ducklings in the pool

The new two-week-old ducklings have quickly become enthused at going in the paint tray pool. This is the morning of their second day with the pool, with all of them in it at once. They won’t all fit for long, but in a couple of weeks they’ll have a larger outdoor pool.

New ducks first swim

Since the new ducks didn’t avail themselves of the pond when I opened the pop door yesterday, today I “encouraged” them (I basically shoved them out the door). The three females went first, and Bert showed them around the pond, then the boys joined them.

This video contains five clips from their first swim, from different vantage points around the pond.
