Swimming Ducks

Yesterday was a big day for our ducks! Several of them have enjoyed dunking their heads in the water dish (resulting in rock star hairdos), but yesterday their pa decided their feathers were developed enough that they could go for a fullblown swim. At first they weren't sure what to make of the tub filled with water that had just been plopped into their home.

A few adventurous souls figured out how to climb to the top of the ramp so they could dabble in the water. One of the Khaki Campbells led the way.

Things moved quickly from here.

The splashing was impressive! :)

Pa finally broke the party up, leaving a group of bedraggled-looking but very happy ducks. :)

After preening themselves, they settled down for a contented nap.

We love happy ducklings!!
