Old Duck, New Tricks

Someone has been picking on Kate, our elderly sight-impaired Indian runner duck. With her being half blind, I suspect she is an easy target since the bully can sneak up on her. The top of Kate's head is bloody from being pecked and she needs some time to recover. She is our oldest animal so what is one to do but bring her inside? The boys gave her a bath to get her cleaned up.



Kate loves swimming in the warm water and even drained the bathtub all by herself when she was done.



So yes, we now have a duck living in the bathroom. Even with the daily baths/swims, Kate is still very, very stinky. I think there might be a reason ducks are not kept as indoor pets.
