When out on Fri eve, we saw a mother and her chicks, all in a line.
I was taking a pic of the chick at the back cos he was being a reprebate and not conforming!!!
Suddenly, mother swam down , gave him a good pecking and put him back in his place,
Now is that the pecking order or what, lol  |

"they are funny.
They are allowed to nip their little uns to get em toe the line,
But we arent allowed to smack or kids to do so.
Hmmmm, them animals have it easy they do, lol"
Yep but ducks don't have all the #pc brigade about. I kind of miss my geese but hey ho. |

"Coots, or maybe moore hens, actually peck and bully one or two of their chicks till they drown - do it in every clutch every year, evil Coots  (or moore hens lol)"
thats the pecking order tho isnt it - pick off the weak, more food for the others then
BB- did you eat your geese???
