I noticed something JUST today!!  I guess all the excitement of new ducklings made me a bit unobservant.  The "crested" duckling, besides the lighter coloration, has an more pink/orange webbing on it's feet!  ?????...

Here's some of Happy, our Embden, with her duck friends....Olive, the Cayuga, and Pickles, the Rouen....We just finished fencing in their yard and putting the siding on their coop tonight.  Here's a few I took right after we finished!

We have a little turtle sandbox converted into a pool and a 100 gallon stock tank dug into the ground for our goose, Happy.  She'll occasionally sit and float in the in-ground "pond", but she really enjoys just sitting in...
