You have heard the expression "Like a duck to water"...well we have some "special ducks" and they did not get the memo. These are ducks that were given to us, they are not the same breed as our Muscovy ducks, Our Muscovy Ducks love the pond, but most are too lazy to walk or fly up to it. They just hang out by the coop and use the splash pool in the yard.


This troop of "special ducks" are a group unto themselves, over the past few years they have been exploring more areas of the farm. They found the drainage ditch by the road. This is not an approved area to go, but they love playing in the ditch so much. So we thought, "if they like the ditch they will love the pond". It did not work out that way. You see, we herded them up to the pond and they just looked at it. I had one of the Muscovy take a swim to let them see how it is done. They just looked at her like she had something wrong and then went on their merry way.

They still go up to the pond but the water is much too scary!
