Here's a not-great picture of them since they don't want to cooperate, lol.

They are too cute!

It's a great pic...but needs a quarter in there for scale.

Cuteeee! I got 4 babies, my first hatch. They started feathering a couple days ago. Really cool lil animals.

I'll have to stick a quarter in there later and try to get a better picture of them.

By the way, I love your avatar! But that's actually a goose

LOL! Who knew. It made me giggle so I snagged it off the net. I can't keep ducks or geese as I have wild pair of Canada geese that come to our pond every year and chase away any other water fowl. Last year they had a clutch of 7 babies and all survived. It will be interesting to see how many come back.

Here's a couple of pics of mine. Just hatched, about 10 hours old. Theres a dime, penny, and a hobo nickel for scale. The waterer is 3" in height.

Now you know where the saying, "cute as a button" came from!

As requested, quarter for scale:

Now to figure out what colors I have.

The one in the pic, is either a pied or tuxedo. A little hard to tell for sure at this age.

Thanks! I'm gonna try to get pictures of all of them and see if you guys might be able to tell me what they are There's one that's silvery in color with yellow wings and chest that I'm very curious about.
