Not quite full grown yet, but about 6 weeks ahead of your little fluff all. She is losing her brown fuzz and growing in her black feathers. No green shimmer yet.

I can't wait for mine to get her feathers in!!! I just LOVE their color!

I loved my cayugas when I had them, Hope to get some more~

Beautiful ducks. Living black opals! If I didn't live in a desert, I'd be sorely tempted, but it just seems so unfair to a duck to keep it in a place like this.... Well, I'm tempted regardless, I just won't give in to temptation!

My babies celebrating spring around three weeks old...

The first day home! Just a day or two old, my pup was ready to be a dad.

And just yesterday! A little over ten weeks now, they are molting into their full adult feathers and very uncertain of the new pool I built them (they love it once they are in, they are still unsure that they like the noise gravel makes under their feet)

I knew I had to build something to prevent them from from making everything into mud... A deck is a great idea! I had a bunch of rocks around though and this worked great. It stays pretty clean, aside from molting feathers and the fact it is from my irrigation ditch so high water in the creek is making the water silty.

Woah this is neat! How do you drain the water out? Also pretty ducks!

Thanks! I can't wait for them to be done molting so they look sleeker...
On the other side there is a spigot on the bottom and I have an attached hose to drain it for watering the apple tree nearby. I just open it and let gravity do the work- It's new, so I will have to work out if I need to put a mesh guard around the inside so it doesn't clog, etc. I just begin filling it again when it gets low to help push out the last dirty water.
