I just wanted to be a doting duck mom for a few minutes and see if there are other crazies out there who love their ducks too much. And when I say too much, let me describe the scene:
I sit, relaxing on my couch in the living room, with Early next to me preening a wing and occasionally watching the screen of my laptop. At the far end of the couch are Baby and Hal, quietly dozing. Preston (human, not duck) is passed out in the recliner. Everyone's a little sleepy after a long day. Do I have a coop?–of course. Have the ducks (4 months old) ever seen the inside . . . ?
Someone might think "Eww, poop!" but no, my little babies are decked out in their diapers. At this point in their lives they actually enjoy their diapers; they seem to understand the diapers / house time link.

Is there a screw loose? Perhaps.
But getting snuggled by ducks is absolutely worth it.
