I think I say this every time you share a video, but, they are growing so fast @AimToMisbehave
!

I know, right?! I can barely believe it! Starting to wonder if they're going to end up bigger than my first batch...

@AimToMisbehave
   They are just the cutest things thanks for posting the video and pics.. For some reason when I look at Runners their bills make me think Hook Bill does any one know if that breed was used in making the Runner breed?

Oh, maybe! Conformation for show-quality Runners says they're supposed to have a convex top line to their bills. I love it; it looks like the nice Roman nose that Bull Terriers have!

(Don't worry; 95% of that mess at the bottom of the tub is just sprouted lentils)

They look like they are having a fun time @AimToMisbehave ! Do they have daily bath time?

Not daily, but I try to get them in there 4 or 5 times a week at least, and I leave them in there until they start looking sinky/sleepy.

Somebody was beginning to look a little sinky towards the end.. lol

they are just so adorable. and those little noises. having Muscovy I don't get to hear that.

 

[napdognewfie]

Muscovy don't say anything?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Muscovy don't say anything?

They don't say much as ducklings, as adults the drakes hiss and huff the girls make trilling noises but no quacks unless scared.

 

[napdognewfie]

I'd heard adults, I just never paid attention to the baby noises. My runners sound like peeper frogs.

A friend of mine comes over to here my ducks quack. Because she says her muscovies don't.
