Waterworld... still

I took this photo through a particularly dirty glass door. It was far too wet to go outside. There is now a puddle in our backyard and the ducks are taking advantage of it. I love that they have a bath when its pouring rain.

Last night the puddle in front of their house had gotten so bad they had to swim into their pen and retreat to the rear where there was a small dry area. I didn't need to fill their water up as all they had to do was walk to the front of the pen and have a drink. I tried to usher all of the ducks into the chicken pen as it wasn't flooded in there, but they weren't having a word of it. I nearly fell over into the pool of water trying to give them fresh hay, I stopped after that.

I managed to take this photo of some hen standing in the water. I've never seen a chicken stand in water like this. If only it were Speedy, not some slut.
