I've been trying to take photos of bath time.
It's quite an adventure.
We use an old turtle shaped sandbox for their "pond".
They don't need it, it's a luxury.
Besides, it's fun to watch.
I dumped the old muddy water and started filling it again.
We don't do this every day.
The ducks are quite messy.
The water stays clean for about ten minutes.
This is one of the reasons we don't do fresh baths every day.
The duck digging.
A joint effort here.
This is what's left after they've dug with their bills.
They'll do this in mud puddles after it rains too.
I think we need a better place for them to bathe... one with less mud around.
This is one of our drakes.
He's splashin' water everywhere!
There have been times when all seven ducks are in the pond at one time.
It gets a little crowded!
The will dive and swim under the water too.
Preening time!
They're quite flexible.
