So lately Ive been noticing that my saxony ducks seem to be "smarter" than my khakis! For instance, I have separate movable houses for each breed. The houses are the same design, but slightly different (window on the opposite side, different nestbox, and different wire on the floor) The saxony were always on the left, and the khakis on the right. The saxonies did seem to know where their house was, and at nighttime when I came out to put them away, they would automatically move to their house (not go in completely, but stand outside). Now I moved the houses around to new grass, and some reason I switched the saxony house to the right, and the khakis to the left. The saxony girls went to the house...on the right. The khakis act like they have no clue!
So Im wondering now....Are they actually smarter? Is it because they are big ducks, and have bigger brains? Does anybody else notice this with their flock? Any duck skeletal experts out there that would know if the brains really are bigger? Im debating with myself whether they would be or not
Thanks!
