We have owned many animals. Seems like we have had it all, horses, cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys. They have provided us many crazy stories. Each one has had its own personality. We used to have 4 muscovy ducks that would line up facing you when they saw you with the water hose because they liked their chests sprayed with the hose.
We now have one female duck. She is the only one left out of some that we had bought as ducklings in march. The rest of them got picked off by some kind of predator. This is the strangest duck I have ever seen. The duck will have nothing to do with our pond, she will not swim in it. She will not swim in a kiddie pool either. She will not get her feet wet! The duck quacks constantly and occasionally flys away quacking at something obviously invisible. Maybe she has PTSD from seeing her friends get eaten? Who knows. All I know is that she is one ODD duck.
