Years ago Drake University had a literacy program where they taught ducks to read, silently of course. They showed a drake a word card and the drake would indicate the object named on the card.
I have been able to get a nicer picture of ducklings from my last hatch. These are out of a bluehead Australian Spotted duck so their down is lighter than the greenheads.
Ducklings in a tortilla warmer. I am keeping the lighter colored ones because I have greenhead Australian Spotted ducks but I got some ducklings that look like blueheads so I want to see how they feather out.
I had to take this one during bath time. The duckling pool is a plastic paint tray...
