Also, a video of the Big 5 having a swim + more reason for @ElfenLied89 to get ducks Just imagine - you could have this every day!

I don’t have any new, good pictures of the Little 5 right now, but in the coming weeks as their feathers come in, you’ll be seeing a whole lot more of them!

Beautiful photos, ❤ your babies are positively adorable!

I am anxious to see Coconut Cream. Your babies are soooo beautiful. This whole adventure has made me end up ordering two Call Ducklings from Metzer Farms and they will be shipped on March 25th while I am on Spring Break. I can't wait to get them. Thanks so much for the pictures and I am looking forward to seeing more in the future.

Tsc near me has ducklings and am trying to talk hubs into it. Lol. I want some! He is mostly worried they will fly off when they are grown. I already have a brooder light. Just need a new container for babies.

What? Unless you get a bantam breed, or wild breed, domestic ducks can’t fly, lol. They’re bred to be too fat to fly Even lighter breeds have limited flight capabilities.

Good. Bc they are so cute. They will have to get along with the chickens though. Can I fix up the front part of my double run/coop to house ducks? Or do I need another excuse to buy more housing lol.

Like my fat butt chickens trying to fly? If they run fast enough they can get about an inch off the ground. Should have named them Wilbur and Orville…

If you get all female ducks, you should be able to house them all together just fine. If you want any male ducks, though, you’ll need separate housing.

Or muscovies. Or these

Mine, with the exception of a silkied hen and two brahma hens, fly very very well. You should see me trying to get the birds out of trees...
