And then there were 7

Not content with the 3 Saxony ducks , including we hope,  a drake , we've added 4 Cherry Valley birds.

So they go round the pen en masse

And its not like hens - any heirarchy seems to have been sorted out and there is just the occasional mild peck.  They need to get the idea of nesting in the same place - who knows  how for up ( or down ) the Burn they will end up if left to their own devices. So currently they are penned in and 'encouraged to go in the Eglu at night.

Once they've got the idea  they can try the pond.
