A brief break in the weather resulted in a delicious pond of water.  Our duck-rooster (he thinks he is a chicken, talks like a rooster and has bonded with 3 hens) swam about and excitedly brought his hens to the water.  He nudged his big red hen into the water, but she did not seem to appreciate this, squawking and flying back to shore.  Alas, perhaps soon they will learn to swim... but not today.
