Have had another 11 hatch and are under their mum. And my hands? Either I have typed too much or it is the one tame duckling who lovec to peck my fingrrs, or both. 1 finger typing and typing slow with it. Ah well.

Give the typing a rest.
touch screens make my hands sore because they're more cramped up.
You could try the dictation function if you speak clearly.
It doesn't work so well for me lol

Tablet on floor. Using big finger to drop on to keyboard. Don't feel like speaking and don't want tablet to know my voice.
Can't think fast today so typing slow.

Also noticed before, and now, that hand strength is poor. Need scissors to open things like chocolate wrapper etc.

Grip in one of my hands is poor as I have hemiplegia.
Physiotherapy gave me a stiff green putty to build up hand strength.
You can also get those scissor type hand exercise things (have no idea what they're called)

Are both hands similar in strength?
Or weakness

Rest your hands (and eyes) and take some time out to watch your ducklings. They sound so cute!

Good to hear. Animals are good therapy in a lot of ways.

28 duck chicks of various sizes and ages. Two ducks still sitting on eggs. We only had a few ducks and our male duck keeps... Well. He can't keep himself to himself! His dad was the same!
we already gave 7 earlier chicks away.

How funny, and how cute about the ducks! I love animal stories!

I am watching a channel called the Pet Collective, with all animal videos. The cats are my favorite, but I've seen ducklings, too. They are so cute!

16 of them are in an old caravan under a tree. I think they are duck crossed with pirana.
