Duckling Thread!

[MerryMeridional]

They are 2.5 weeks old from shipped date and are getting HUGE. They have more than quadrupled in size and are starting to make different sounds. I think it is the beginning of a quack but it sounds like a treefrog noise! These gals are about to head to the coop now that it is completed. Just need a couple bales of straw and some more pine chips from the farm supply. Their feeder is a 24.2oz folgers container for size reference. They used to be able to all drink around a chick waterer!

We can share our Cayuga pics together @Jpajinag!
So they are 3 weeks old and getting their green on them.. just what I wanted to know! Thanks here are my cayugas... Olive and Daffy. They are almost 1 week old (estimated)
Here’s Olive..I thought it was a good name because olives are so black they are purple and the inside of them is kind of green

Here’s Daffy... named after Daffy Duck

Love them. I need to get better / new pictures. It’s nasty and storming today and the broader is turning into a daily full blown clean out with them getting so big.

Couldn't resist this year...had to take home some teeny babies

Still lying to decide what they are. One is very light, almost white, and is on the small side...it was smaller and far lighter in color than all of the pekins, buffs and white cresteds in the tub at Rural King. I had to bring it home just to see what it ended up being, lol. The other I thought would just be a big white crested duck, but it really has a runner stance a lot of the time. Even it is bigger than the pale one, and I don't think it's significantly older.
Whatever they are, they are really into my hair

Congratulation they are adorable.

Sure are! Ducklings tend to boost up in the Indian runner stance, but that’s when they are alert. I wonder what they are?

Yeah. Even Calls stand up if they need a better view.

Help. I need cabinet incubator. I have more eggs than I have incubator. Five dozen full cartons. (The others are empty.) Four dozen in incubators. The large Incuview has a capacity of 56 eggs. I know because I filled it to capacity. The small Brinsea holds 24. And this is despite the fact some chicken eggs are hatched by other people. And I have another week before I empty the large one because of a hatch. Which means even more eggs will be laid in that time.

Ever thought about eating or giving or selling your eggs?
