Treats

The ducks have outgrown their water dispenser, so I've been experimenting with something they can wade in. This is a paint tray, which has a shallow end with safety treads and a deep end where they can duck their heads under water and let it roll down their backs. They instinctively began to dabble for food in the water as soon as they stepped in, but of course, all they found was each other's feet. Then I dropped in some greens as a treat. Oh, my! What joy! What excitement! What a game of Bumper Ducks!
Treats are the sunshine of their lives. Floating greens are their favorite, but they like scrambled eggs and hard boiled egg yolk (I know), and baked sweet potato.They also get a sprinkle of brewers yeast and a sprinkle of garlic powder in their dry food.
Maybe it's all the treats that are helping them grow so fast. Note the beginning of tail feathers beginning to appear!
