Tommy boy

I returned home from town today to see about 15 large white duck feathers on the ground. It appeared the boys had been fighting again. I'm pretty sure it was Beaker and Tommy fighting to see who's the boss. Beaker lost the fight and lost most of his new tail feathers at the same time. Poor Beaker, he was second fiddle to Mandy when he was boss and now he's doing the same for Tommy. I took this photo of Tommy yesterday, he doesn't really like being photographed. At the moment he's looking the best out of all the boys.
Old Boys foot is looking better, I went and checked on him but he's got crazy eyes. His beak was all covered in mud from pecking at the ground. He came up really close to me and kept crowing. I told him he needed to have chill out and have a drink of water and get all that mud off his beak. This went on for a little while me saying "Have a drink and wash your beak" and then he'd crow.
I'm really not sure how this story will pan out. But he didn't wash his beak.
