organic ducks

At two weeks old the ducklings started to jump out of the babypool ...

Looking a little anxious once it is done ... scarry world out there ...

outside the pool

so ... I decided it was time to move them out to their pasture hoops ... Weather is in the 80F during the day and I kept a heat lamp for the night ....

First taste of grass

..... and they went crazy for the grass .. it was incredible to watch ... they were running around munching on every bit of weeds ...

Ducks are much more friendly with each other than chickens, I am amaze how mean the chickens are with each other .... the ducks dont fight or jump on each other for food ...

After a day or two I could not resist and I put a small bowl of water in their pen ... Let me tell you : ducks are aquatic birds ...!!!! ... they loved it ...

Testing the water ....

Getting ready to jump ....

Ready to jump

Zoupah .... so much fun ....

done it ...

They are so funny to watch ... once in the water they kind of shake their body under water and jump out to leave space for the next one ...
