Ripley drinkingThere is something rather valiant about ducklings. Two days old already, and they are bouncing around with an optimistic excitement which is totally endearing. I have spent long warm periods in the sun, head in the hen house body in the duck enclosure watching the little comedians eat,sleep, and clamber all over the benign sweetie that is Blanche, who seems to take everything they have to subject her to and more.

Ah, they're so cute! I'm reading a funny book called Enslaved By Ducks that I bet you'd enjoy. It's one man's account of his life with the endless stream of animals (lots of duucks) that his wife acquires and brings home to their little farm in Michigan.
