I'm thinking about calling the ducks Walt and Jason. I understand this will be a problem if next year I start getting duck eggs, but I like the names. In any case, it was becoming increasingly clear that the Unnamed were going to need to be moved outside, due to their stinkiness in the sewing room. Today I built them a delightful 7X7 ft pen in the backyard. They have a pond that I dug intentionally deep enough so that they could paddle around. They have grass and logs and cement and food and water and a basil plant in case they want to make pesto. They however have spent most of the day trying to figure out how to get out. They did get out once, but I quickly sized up the potential for escape and fortified the pen. They seem to be fond of hoping over one of the cement blocks and climbing on the logs. They also spent a good amount of time in the water-bathing and swimming. Once they get big enough I'll let them out of the pen, but since they escaped last week by wiggling through the chain link they have to be restrained.
Randi and Earl slept in the house the entire time.
