First weekend with the new babies....

WOW this little ones are GROWING...Here are a few pictures from this weekend. They really love the water and it's hilarious to watch them slide around. I am having to really spend time with them, they aren't interested in being lap ducks...at all. But as long as they are all together they are fine, boy when I just hold one or two, they freak out. The one I think is a little girl (Schaeffer) she's the one who is the loudest.

Ok here are pictures...

This if my favorite one. This is Schaeffer, she is the bossy extra loud little girl, who loves loves the water.

This is Axel, sliding across the pan. He is a little character...

Schaeffer again....showing off. She didn't want to get out of the water.

Mine that I think is a cayuga looks like he has a yellowish undercoat on his chest, but only in certain light.

I've been letting mine swim in the bath tub since they were a week old. The trick from what I understand is not too deep, and only for a little bit so they don't get tired.
