I never before worked in the garden when my ducks were outside till yesterday. They didn't appear to pay much attention to the weeds I was picking or the new dirt, which surprised me. They nibbled at my jeans the entire time I was outside. Is this typical? In all of the films I've watched of individuals working in the garden with their ducks, I've never seen ducks do it. Their bites are hurting for the first time ever, which also surprised me.
