Unfortunate coincidence or worrisome problem spreading? We found one of the Muscovy ducklings on its back this morning, unable to turn over without help. It looked a lot like what's been plaguing the goslings and, for an afternoon, one of the Khaki Campbell ducklings. We don't

The other momma Muscovy with her ducklings at the pond for the first time. She's reluctant to get in: she's never seen this pond, and might not have ever had the opportunity to swim at her previous home. The ducklings, meanwhile, are following their instincts and
