angiert - Have you look in the Buy, Sell & Trade forum? I think I remember seeing some call ducklings listed there somewhere in Indiana.

Here are my little guys. I know they are just pet quality, but I think they are pretty darn cute.

Kevin565, which would you choose to keep for colours and looks lone? I know they are still young, but on first impression, do you see any potential boys? When will I notice voice differences. I've never raised ducklings before this. The rest were all well over 2 months old.

See my buff toulouse that are only 6 weeks older? WOW. They need to go on a diet! LOL.

Hogging the water I put out for the calls. They can actually get up into this and swim. I know you aren't supposed to let them swim at this age, but I use that blue thing in the third picture to contain water in their brooder (or I did before I kicked them out), and they would drain the water out of the waterer so they could swim. Little buggers!

They were a little unsure of what to do their first night, but they have completely come out of their shells and hang with my Khaki Campbell girls already!

By the way, I think my Campbells are abnormally small. Their eggs are too.

Aoxa, Your Khaki looks about the same size as our flock. If she is a new layer the egg will increase some with time.

Dont judge the ducklings until they have fully feathered out, once they feather you will get a good idea of body condition and can see if there is any funky feathering. Until then just enjoy.

Lovely Toulouse, we have 4 now and adding more yet this fall.
