    Buff Ducklings!

    I had posted this picture in the Goose threads, but figured it was unfair not to make a thread for the Buffs as well. :) They are super active, brave, and funny! I was wondering if anyone else had some Buff ducklings/ducks? I would love to hear about anyone elses experiences with them. :)
