Deb's Flock - new ducklings March 2016 (pic heavy)

[BantyChooks]

My goofy (and ferocious) dogs don't like cheese or peanut butter.  

Chicken? Belly rubs? Beef jerky? Pepperoni?

LOL...Cricket is in the CDPP (Cute Duckling Protection Program) so no one can steal her away from home.       

Yup... and I had to switch over to the CDPP due to recent events and sharing of confidences... I will send Lady Grey as her personal bodyguard...

They're getting their "life preservers" - that's what I call their "basket" or "boat" coupled with "angel wing feathers" above their wings. (Not to be confused with angel wing).  Now none of these terms are proper, but if you have every seen a duckling develop, you might know what I am talking about.  (I still refer to the "boat" on adults since they tend to sag around molt time and look like the duck is laying in a boat.)  I also see some little flight feathers starting with the flappy-flap on the last pic.  Them growing up is so exciting and sad at the same time...

That is too funny!!! My OH calls it their 'flotation device'...

And baby wingy flaps are the most adorable!!!

Yeah, they just grow too fast. I can't believe they aren't even 4 weeks old yet & I'm already starting to see buff colored feathers on Bailey.

Have I mentioned to the ducknappers that I have 2 dogs that are over 100 pounds each?

I'm still 'in' with you Banty & I never met a dog that didn't love me (or cream cheese) GO TEAM DUCKNAPPER!!!!

Nope, but kinda mini ones, lol... they're Snowy Calls... very similar color patterned since both are based on harlequin... these are my first hatched from a pair I bought... thought it would be cute to compare with Debs as they grow...

Parents...

Snowy Calls are so extremely cute. Why is she so round? Do you notice, Ravyn? And notice how they are touching as they are sitting. I wonder if they realize how cute that is. I love how the color scheme of Calls is so much the same as their larger counterparts. It will be fun doing the comparison. Remember that fun thing we did with your picture and @Tevyes Dad picture.

Pictures from outside time today. Cricket chased off Donald & Alfalfa. It's hilarious to watch!

DEBS - LOVE and Love these very much. Please squeeze Cricket for me as a love squeeze. Do you think she and Tony's Casey are doppelgängers? I just love your pictures here. Fun having bathy time.

Baby flippy webbz snoozin and sleeping!!!

I think I have changed my mind about how I would like to die.... Instead of death by chocolate, death by CUTENESS OVERLOAD sounds pretty good.

I finally had a chance to check out your 'lings. Extremely cute + fluffy. Glad to see that they are hale 'n hearty. Too bad they don't listen in regards of growing much slower, though. Ours are deaf on that ear too. Cricket's proposed duck napping had me in absolute stitches ... You guys are a crazy bunch of fun people!
