Having a Swim!

Here they are, at 8 days old and having a swim. Oddly, when you first "push" them in, they want to get out and be with us, but if you can keep them in for a few minutes, they settle down and ignore us. It's pretty amazing to see them dart around underwater, especially since they haven't got a "mom" to teach them how.

Also amazing, is how fast they grow. This weekend we are going to have to make some changes in their accommodations, since I'm expecting some ducklings (15) next week that will need the brooder.
