They are all growing their head feathers and I noticed the three brown babies (Fawn, Jellyfish and Puma) have a green shine to their head, it's kinda hard to see but I can see it when the light is pointed directly on their head and if I get really close.
Does that mean these three are boys?
Hi again!
I don't have any pictures atm but I have heard a few of them honk, especially Pika, not really sure what it means though! They are going to be 5 weeks old on the 11th!
I've got some updated pictures!!
I also got some pictures of their feathers!!
The picture above is Tokki's feathers, Pike and Pika's feathers also look like that.
Thats how their mother, Newt, looked like as a baby so I assume those three will be spitting images of their mother!
The...
Hi again!
Is it possible to sex ducklings by their voice at 3 weeks old (they are currently 3 weeks old)? (I heard female ducks can hit puberty as young as 2 weeks and as old as 10 weeks but I'm not sure lol)
4 out of 6 of the ducklings are starting to sound different, their peeps sound a little...
Yeah I dunno if I'd end up with any pastels or silvers,
The lightest baby is Pike, these are the best pictures I have of them (although its their baby pictures)
But I'm not sure if that's light enough to be a pastel or silver?
Hi again!!
I took some pictures (which aren't the best!!) but they are already growing their feathers so I took some pictures of their feathers too (which again, aren't the best!!)
(P.S. they are currently 17 days old!)
Puma:
Pika:
Pike:
Jellyfish:
Fawn:
Lastly, Tokki:
Yeah so the...
Hi!
I've decided to do another update! I dont have any pictures currently but they have definitely gotten bigger! Pika is still a little small but I can definitely tell shes grown.
They all enjoy diving underwater and very much enjoy escaping their brooder!
I can't get a video today but I can tomorrow.
When she lifts her head (like Tokki is doing in the pictures I posted) it looks like she has no neck or its just very short, like a baby chick or a penguin. She walks fine, she just looks like a baby chick/penguin.
You can definitely tell she looks...
I'm so sorry, it's kinda hard to tell. I have to use my computer to take a picture since my phone broke and I haven't found the time to get a new one.
It's also easier to tell in person but here are some pictures (I took some of her and some of one of her siblings to compare)
And yes, their...
I just realized something--
Pika walks a bit weird, as my mother described she looks like a chick (or a penguin), and I just realized she either has no neck or its just very short.
Yeah I stopped giving them sugar water a couple of days ago but I'll definitely stick with Sav-A-Chick.
I'll make another update next week when they get bigger!
Shes currently on Dumor Chick Starter/Feeder 20% Protein and shes had sugar water, I've given her some Sav-A-Chick.
Shes eating and drinking well though.
Today the ducklings went swimming!
They all loved it but I'm still a bit hesitant on Pika. They have definitely gotten bigger but she hasn't and all the ducklings were diving underwater besides Pika.
I also noticed when shes in the water, shes kinda lopsided/titled in the water.
I can't get any...
I guess I'll do another quick update!
They are all doing well, all eating and drinking. Pika is doing good, shes eating and drinking well.
They are also pooping fine, I've checked all their vents and they are good! Of course I'll keep checking just in case.
I'll post some pictures when they get...
Shes doing way better!
Her eyes have opened up more and instead of sleeping under the heat plate when her siblings run around, she got up and started running around with them!
She seems more active and shes doing way better than before!
