Ducklings - Pics!

[eggybritches]

So I had a thread in incubating and hatching, but they're hatched now, so I'm moving it here.

I'm so in love, guys. It's ridiculous.

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but getting your ducks in a row... A lot easier said then done.

But still doable nonetheless.

So for your viewing please, here are the Fantastic Five's 3 day old portraits.

This is Joe. Joe was the last to hatch and I cried when he came out, because he was bleeding everywhere. His umbilical cord ripped and he still had an external yolk. But now he's bigger than everyone else and a giant bully. Go figure.

This is Larry. He's my favorite, but don't tell the others. He's brown with yellow wing tips and a yellow ring under his neck. Any idea what color he'll turn out to be?

This is Shemp. He's teeny tiny. Fourth out of the egg, but only half as big as the others...

My little Curly. First out of the egg. (And the easiest to pick out of the group!)

And last but not least, Mo. He was second born. He came out of the egg with a mohawk, which is where his name came from. He started the whole stooge name thing.

Any ideas what colors they might be when they are grown?

AWW!!! I know this is a ditzy question but what breeds are they?

 

[eggybritches]

Oh, sorry! Not a ditzy question! Ducklings look like ducklings.

They are runner ducks.

What beautiful babies! Joe just has the mischievous look look in his eye

 

[eggybritches]

He does. He's an evil little bugger.

Joe, Shemp, and Mo are all being given away to a farm close by that holds camps for kids with down syndrome, to help come out of their shell. I was sad to let them go, but I feel much better now (especially knowing they're not going to get eaten!).
