My chickens are afraid of a duckling!

[Poliwag]

I hatched myself a duckling and one day decided to take it down to meet my 4 silkie chooks. Well, what happened next was not what I was expecting... the duckling started following them around and they went CRAZY! Running, flying and screaming all over the place! The chooks were scared of this tiny little duckling:

That duckling is adorable!
Doesn't surprise me that the chickens are scared of it. Chickens are such well.....chickens!

ETA: By the way, what breed is that duckling? I'm going to "surprise" my DH with some ducklings in the spring and if they had that cute face, even he would melt.

Well umm, it was from an abandoned egg I found... it's actually a wild duckling... I really wanted to see if it would hatch... the odds were unlikely but it still happened o.o

That's awesome. Good luck with your little duckling.

Thank you. I'll need it. Going to try to put it back into the wild when its older. Can't exactly keep a wild duck, for many reasons.

Cutest little thing. The great thing about birds is that they're cute when they're babies, and still cute as adults!
