Another of the ducks. We have three drakes and four ducks total. Of course I have no idea how inter-related they all are, but I've decided not to worry about it. Several are missing toenails and I don't know if they will grow back or not. Depends on whether the nail beds were damaged. I don't know how they lost their nails to begin with. But they all appear healthy otherwise. Good condition and good feathers.

We moved them out to the poultry pen today. I made a small shelter for them out of pallets, boards, tarp, baling twine, and woven wire fencing. It's really sad looking, but only temporary. It's called "making do with what you have lying around". :-)

The roosters and guinea hens freaked out of course when we started taking them out there. But they've settled down now.
