Ducklings are so cute

[Dr.Dale]

I thought baby chicks were cute, but I think ducklings are cuter. They are like chicks with clown shoes on!

We ordered 10 silver appleyards from Holderread farms, they shipped 11 and all arrived alive and well even though we are clear across the country.

I agree with you I think ducks are cuter!!

I can't tell if it's the way the picture came out but that Labradors ginormous

It isn’t the picture, they are 6 month old Great Pyrenees so they are each about 60 lbs right now. They should get to about 80-100 lbs by the time they are full grown

Here is another shot of the dogs with the ducklings. My wife was a little nervous at first so she held on until she was sure they would be calm.

Definitely no lab!!! It will take time but you guys will do it!! It's been less than a month and my pitbull has no interest in chicks or ducks anymore!

Do your silver appleyards seem to all run together at full speed? Ours are zipping around the cage like they are tied together by invisible string. And when we take them out to clean the cage, as soon as we get about a third of them out of the cage then the rest just jump out too, and the reverse getting them back in.

My SA zipped all over the brooder compared to her Pekin siblings! 3 months later she loves running and chasing the birds in the back yard!

I didn’t expect such a large breed to run around much. Of course, they aren’t large yet!
