Ok, so the ducks are still freaked. I am not sure how much they are eating or drinking. I moved a larger container of water closer to them. Should I remove the tarp and just let them squeeze into that little bit of shade during those hours?
Or should I wait it out until they get used to the scary tarp?

Remove it...I would. Make shade with something else?

I would remove it too. Things like chairs and old tables can provide temporary shade. I actually never tried a tarp, it seems too scary. Try something solid. Stick some legs on a pallet like a low table?

See how you feel, it may feel like home and it may feel uncomfortable. Don't matter to me where I type, fingers hurt the same on both sites. :confused:
Definitely...I'm not imbarrassed to return at all. I just had many days to reflect upon many BYC issues and not sure if I want to be there full time anymore..I'll see?..Either way I'll be able to contact you all..

Speaking of those fingers, I have to stop for a bit. Time to go out and make the rounds anyways. Catch you later, but don't expect much words out of me. Stupid neuropathy. Sorry I'm such a complainer lately. :(
