ducklings!!

[quackkquack__]

Today I bought two call ducklings for my black east indie, Mantis. They seem to like each other though Mantis bites a bit too hard out of curiosity. They are a blue bibbed and black bibbed.

They don't have names yet but I'm thinking of naming them Calico and Lyoki. Also, Mantis is 2 weeks and 3 days old and earlier she made two quacking noises. Not sure why. She also has feathers growing on her back already but I think it's because she had a bald spot there.

I don't think Mantis is trying to be mean - she lays down next to them and gently tries to go near and once shes close, she nibbles them. She's always been sweet but nibbles too hard. I wonder if after a day or so, she wont bite them as hard?
