Enrichment Ideas

I recently built an outdoor run for my two ducks (runner and a mallard). They’ve got two pools, a blue kiddie pool and a 40 gal tub inside their little hut. Is there anything I can add to their run to give them some more enrichment. I already scatter peas occasionally into their pools but wondering if there’s more I can do for them

What gender do you think the mallard is

I originally was getting the vibe my little mallard was a female but I’ve read an olive green beak could indicate it’s a drake. They are both about to be 8 weeks old this weekend

Mold found in bathroom

My wife and I recently bought a house, in the bathroom next to the shower, the lady never sealed the glass wall and it looks like water would come out and caused some water damage to the wall. I opened it up today and found what looks to be black mold. I’ve sealed it up with a plastic bag but should we keep the door open or shut. And should we keep the bathroom fan on or off?
Just need to know what to do in the mean time till we have someone come out to look. Thank you!

Is this normal for a Pekin Duck

My Pekin duck is about 4 weeks old right now and this morning I noticed his chest is this brownish looking color. Is this normal as they get feathers? He’s on a non-medicated chick feed and gets peas a couple days a week.

Edit:
Thank you guys for the info! I was worried my little duck had a feather disease or something but you guys have eased me. The runner is definitely a little crackhead and I love them both dearly

I found this above our door frame going into the garage from the outside. I can’t tell if it’s a bug next (didn’t see any but sprayed just in case) or if its decay or mold. Anyone see this before or know what it might be?
