Lol!
The ducks in the tub were the first ones I bought so I'd have something to use for herding practice with my dogs since I don't have my own sheep. One of those 6 died when it was bigger (don't know why) and another got taken by a coon but the other 4 are some of the 8 adult ducks I keep and get all these eggs I'm incubating from. I also kept 4 of last years babies to replace the 2 lost ones and increase the "flock" a bit. My adults are probably the most well traveled non-migratory ducks around. Last year they went to herding demos in Waterloo, Wellend, Roseneath, Bobcaygeon and I can't remember where else. In a few weeks they'll be somewhere in Quebec doing a demo.
It's not just ducks that I sometimes have in my house, all my chicks and turkeys have to start out in the house too when they're tiny and need a heat lamp. My coop has no electricity so I have a brooder area set up in the basement that I start them in for a few weeks and then move them out.
