Welcome to BYC! Your little baby ducklings are so adorable!

They're not so little anymore haha It's getting harder to have them with me all the time, but they definitely demand it. Although, I've spent so much time with them, I don't think I'm ready for them to move out yet ❤❤

That's amazing! I can only imagine the confusion

I had pet rats when I lived in my first apartment years ago. I would have them on my shoulders or in my hoodie. Sometimes I would forget they were there and I'd go to take the garbage out down the hall and a couple of my neighbors freaked out thinking they were wild

Yeah I didn't mind the girls when they were small. They about 15lbs each now and you don't forget they are anywhere. The problem is I spoiled them when they were small.

Your introduction made me smile. Welcome to BYC! I had a Welsh Harlequin trio several years back—your photos bring back memories to me.

Oh wow! They get so big!! Or was that you spoiling them that made them chunky?

I'm having a hard time bringing the ducklings with me as they get bigger and bigger. And I've definitely spoiled them rotten. They used to only cry when I would leave the room, but now they cry because they want treats, because they want to swim, because they want to cuddle, because they're hungry, oh and of course because I also left the room

They a tad on the chunky side for females but not much.

I'm glad you enjoy the photos because I really enjoy taking them ❤

How did you like the Welshies breed?

I raised Runners earlier this year for my sister in law, but I wasn't nearly as hands on with them since I knew they weren't going to be pets. They were cute, but I felt like I always had to show them I wasn't going to kill them because they definitely acted like I was.

I picked Welsh Harlequins for my backyard pets because I saw some really great reviews and the photos of the adult ducks were beautiful. I wanted a breed that wouldn't freak out about the dog coming outside or the kids in the back.

I would love to hear your experiences! ❤
