Me and Calvin had a pond full of pet Ducks and Mud hens. The blue headed ducks (not sure what the correct species they were) and mud hens would be waiting for us at breakfast and dinner time. The mud hens were funny cause they would climb up the hill to see which would get the first serving of bread.
The mud hens would also follow me and Calvin if we were walking, or driving our Jeep along side of the pond. Till they all flew off sometime in late March early April.
They never even said good by or anything. Just flew off one day!
Calvin tried naming them, but there were too many of them. Plus they all looked alike so that made it more difficult.
