Miss Wet Head in the middle has started dunking her whole head in the waterer, and she's the one who immediately and enthusiastically began to dive and dart around under water in the swimming tub.

On the way home from the hatchery she was the one with the loudest cheep, who tried several times to jump out of the crate, and the one who keeps an eye on me the most.
They gobble up lettuce and mâche floating in their drinking water, but are not so fond of chard.
There is such a sweetness about them aside from being heart-meltingly soft and cute. They do everything in unison and I see them helping each other out with grooming. They seem to be democratic, smart and gentle; full of life, growth and playfulness.

I'm a little late to the part, but congratulations! I love ducks, they have fabulous personalities. I did learn, the hard way, that a pond with waterlilies soon becomes a pond without waterlilies in the presence of ducks, but the ducks are so much fun to watch when they take their first swim and dive. These little ones will be feathered, and following you everywhere before you know it!
They are getting cuter by the day! Two weeks plus in age, they are now as big as crows, with some tiny tail feathers.
