My daughter is almost 10 and is starting a Duck Raising Project

My little girl is so proud to have a flock of ducks that she can manage and care for. She is a real natural.

That is very cool.
When I was growing up, ducks were always my favourite.
Chicks are cute, sure, but kind of frantic and nervy.
There's something about ducklings...
