thanks! 3 of the lil ones have figured out how to get in the turtle pool and swim like big ducks

. Absolute cuteness seeing either Patrick or Penelope in the pool with 3 lil ones!
Good luck! I know from now on if Miss Penelope or any of her offspring go broody we will be practicing birth control and limiting eggs!

Are you keeping these? I wish i didn't have to but I don't want too crowd them so birth control it is! Get some pics of them swimming.

My little duckling will be 2 weeks this Wed, swims like a fish too but still can't get out of the pool on her own so i put a couple of large rocks in an she uses them to get out... so cute

yes we are keeping these, unless Miss Penelope didn't listen and hatched too many drakes

. Then, well we will see. The intent is too keep all of these, and any future broody's only get a few eggs.

It is SO HARD to get the swimming pictures. As I walk up, Penelope calls them out of the pool. My wife has better luck than I do. Figures, I feed them, clean the coop, change the water, and they like her better

. It is the cutest thing. The little hotshots.4 days old. I really love the underwater dives, clear across the pool!

Miss penelope did better hatching than I thought she would. I've just been telling Patrick he is a stud

I could tell he was walking around all Puffed out.. It's going to his head. LOL I know about the pics in the pool every time I see one of mine in I usually have to go for the camera and by the time I get back out side They are usually back out. I do love it when they swim under water. My 6 week old and this 2 week old have made friend now and it is so cute to see them together, but I am pretty sure the 6 week old is a drake, How can i even think about keeping him??? but he eats out of my hand now..

well if he is eating out of your hand.... he has to be a keeper

I feel the same way stony now just to convince Ernie and Opie and Sammy about it.

right after Miss L requested a pic of swimming ducklings..... my wife calls to me from the back door and says "all 6 are in the pool". I look and all 6 are swimming around contently.They looked like ducks in a carnival game

We grab the camera, and this is what happened. All in one spot next to their mom.

Precious to be sure..

when our little duckling gets in the pool with mama she is so yellow it looks like Ruth has her little rubber ducky in the bath with her. They are adorable stony.
