Absolutely. Six weeks old.

That was taken today. My big proud boy. They grow like weeds. How old are your babies?

mine are 22 days today..

heres the most recent pic

that was taken less than an hour after they put back in the playpen thingy and look at the state of it!

its not as bad as it used to be though because now they only spend like 30% of the day in the pen and the rest in the bath or around the house thank god!

They might end up being trout color after all. The female mallard has those colored feathers that are coming in, and I think all mallards do as juveniles. But I could be completely wrong.
