I left town for 5 days for work training. THEY GOT HUGE in the meantime. That is a gallon water jug hanging for their waterer. These babies seem to just eat and grow exponentially. They are looking less like ducklings and more like ducks to me and have started to molt and get in real feathers. They are getting a bath today for sure!
The gals are seeing me as the food bringer. They tried eating my fingers this morning. Their nibbles are so cute. Nibble nibble nibble. 25 days old from shipped date.

Look how big. I bet you miss I bet you missed them!

@Miss Lydia can you tell me about muscovies? What do you like about yours?

@casportpony, same for you if you both have time?

I swear our muttlings grow from the time I leave for work until I get home. Cannot imagin being gone that long and missing out.

Wow! They are absolutely adorable

Thank you! I think so too

Look how big. I bet you miss I bet you missed them!

I did. A week in the life of a duckling is like a year of development for a human. I knew they grew fast but it is almost shocking to me seeing it in person.
