My new muscovy ducklings!

Mocha likes the sidelines. If you see my hand, it is because, I don't want her jumping out of the pen.
I have a longer video where she gets pretty silky, but I cant get it to upload. It is 2 min. So might just be too big.

I did notice your hand and thought you were spotting her. I can't believe how springy they can be. Strong thighs. Mocha is so cute. She seemed curious about you or something off camera.

Here, they are all in. They need a bigger tub, but I cant pick up anything bigger (heavier).

Haha. They go from preening in the water to super still and alert. I thought that was interesting.

Dang!! I wish that 2 minute video would have uploaded. It's fun to see your ducks in action. So cute.

Yeah, curious to see if she could jump out to freedom!

My son came in and they were on alert. New sounds.

That was awesome how he just catapulted out of the tub and she followed. They all just love that water so much. It's cute how two go in and two drink.

I think Java Joe and Beanie are buddies or she just hides behind him since he is soooo big!

And as fast as she darts and sprints...

Aw, how cute. He's her protector.

That just shows how smart they are. It's funny. I could totally tell they had honed in on something.

Yesterday was bath day again. They have so much fun. I tried a bigger tote with "steps" and none of them would go in. They would drink out of it and Beanie almost went in, but just hung out at the side. So, I got out the lower tote and they all jumped in! I left for the whole day today and they seem to have grown again! I know they will just love it when they finally get to go outside (once everything lines up including the weather!)
