Bonnie & Clyde growing up

[ruffin]

The little guys are growing up now these pics were taken last Sunday but we are still not sure how old they are if anybody would like to take a guess it would be very helpful. We have bought them a child's paddling pool which they seem to love floating about in then preening themselves although it seems I usually end up wetter than they are after they have finishes thrashing there wings and feet about

. They seem to now have a lot of feathers but still some down, when is it safe to leave them out in a heavy downpour?

as I don't want them to get a chill. All help and advise greatly received

They are beautiful and I guess 5-6 weekish? mine are 4 weeks and they have been out in the rain. even though they still have alot of odwn they seem to be pretty waterproof now. So yours would probably be fine unless your in a part of the world where it's winter.

Quote: I'd say they're 5 weeks old in the pictures. This is my goose at 30 days:


And at 33 days - notice how much her wings filled in in just three days:


Quote: Wait at least one week, two to be on the safe side. At seven weeks they should be fully feathered, like this:

Too cute! We had ducks named Bonnie and Clyde too - until Bonnie became Bonnie-bob, lol.

Yes we have a Guinea Pig called Daisy-Dave very easy but costly mistake to make
