Ducklings first swim

The first few days of ducklings (or chicks) is stressful as they are tiny and quite fragile.
I have a rock in the pond so anyone who falls in can get out. I also check several times a day to make sure no duckling is stuck somewhere it can’t get back to the warmth of mum. She is an attentive mum, but not very useful at actually knowing what to do when one is stuck.
I cleaned the pond only this morning but they immediately poo in it then enjoy drinking the poo water. Nice!
