DucklingMama95
Hatching
Hello,
I'm Jenn! I'm very new to raising any type of "backyard birds"! So how did I acquire these cuties? Well a little about me! I am 20, and in school to be a vet tech (house pets, clearly, not very educated on birds aside from knowing how to care for them). I LOVE animals and the whole neighborhood knows it! Unfortunately, that means I am a "dump site" for many unwanted critters! So today I received a box on my door step! I'm used to it I figured it was kittens since kitten season is here! To my surprise it was two little ducklings!! They are so precious! They were shivering and I honestly didn't think they would make it they are so teeny. They only look days old. So, after food, water, pine bedding, and a nice warm lamp they are feeling much better! And I'm so glad that 9 hours later (now) they are doing well! So! I know the picture kind of stinks, they are huddled together. So to describe a little of what you may not be able to see in the picture:
Coloring: Very Fluffly down, brown all over and *slightly* lighter brown on the bellies (by no means would I say yellow, just a lighter brown). The sides of their eyes have a "mask" look to them. There are a couple streaks of *dark* yellow.
Feet: Webbed Feet, tiny toe nails
Beak/Bill: Dark brown bill
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!
