That must have been a surprise! Expecting call ducklings and getting Pullets (hope the pullets were from a chicken breed you like)!!!!!

Kidding a side! Call ducks are adorable and I look forward to seeing pics!

Just in case you were serious, those are some of duckluck's SQ Calls she hatched out from a premier Call breeder this spring-she doesn't raise anything but Calls-and some awesome ones at that! I have a couple of her beautiful birds here that she jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to me!

Well I wasn't serious. But duckluck said she had pullets...pullets are chickens, not ducks. I wasn't inferring she actually hatched out chickens...but anyways.

Hmmmmmmmmm. Well, I'd be the perfect person to have that ruse pulled on me, because I wouldn't know any better. Right now, all I know is that 2 of them are yellow, one is darker, and they have the smallest, itty-bittiest little bills I have ever seen! I've only seen ducklings at feed stores, and those have all been at least a few days old. (My Cayuga pair were two of 'em.) But these bitsy babies are just amazingly small. I was flabbergasted by the bills, particularly.

Now I want to see pics even more! I've never seen call ducklings in real life(I've seen call ducks, but not ducklings). I bet they are just adorable..like little toys!

Aren't they the CUTEST little things you've ever seen? Honestly, they stay cute. You'll be wanting to hug and snuggle them, and I must warn you, they are a bit resistant to this(I have the claw marks to prove it

) Hard to believe they can eat with those little teeny bills!

I'm sorry-I wasn't trying to be snarky even though I sounded like I was!

Since I was mean, here's a picture of my baby Gray Call, Darby when he was 1 day old for you to see a duckling. Isn't he the cutest?

Easttxchick, that's EXACTLY what the first hatchling looks like!

Isn't that the most smoochable, wanna-sqeeze-able bitty thing you've ever seen????

Yes, and that includes my kids!

But you cant resist!
resistance is futile!
welcome to the call collective!

This is exactly what I was thinking. Where's the pictures? I have Muscovies and they are big compared to that little one up there.
I don't think she actually hatched them. Well, maybe the camera's broke. That actually happened to me at hatch time. DD dropped the camera, and no pictures until I could borrow one.

Still waiting.

Had to fix my grammar a little anyway.
