Well we are almost at week 5. I have heard 4 different ducks quacking but can only narrow it down to three ducks at this time.

The ducklings got their first exposure to a big kiddie pool, that I stole from the dogs being as I can’t find another one this time of year.

The gang has gotten to try grapes, yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, peas, cilantro and hard boiled eggs. They gobble it all up. They have also eaten ants, and grass hoppers outside.



I am trying to get them ready to stay outside in their duck house soon. Maybe next week or the week after.

Here are there other flock mates at just under a week old. Yes the border collie watches them. He makes sure to check on anyone who is sounding distressed.

Aren’t they precious. Wow hard to believe it’s been almost 5 weeks since we were waiting for these little ones to hatch .

I still have little itty bitty ducklings too, but this thread wasn’t fallowing them.

I can’t decide if I like them or Cayuga best for looks. But I love the look of both.
