Pipd's Peeps 2014!

OK. The farm had already picked out the chick they wanted to give me so I didn't get to choose a EE, but I'm happy with my new girl!
I think she's a Brahma mix. She's 12 weeks old and very scared. She's in quarantine right now.




 
Aww, she looks so sweet! She does look like a Brahma mix to me, too! She reminds me of one of my Easter-eggers with her coloration, so maybe she's part EE? :fl Either way, she is just so pretty! :love
 
Hey, all, it's been a while. :D Today the babies are 5 months old. I actually ended up taking their pictures on Friday because I've been super busy getting things around for, well, I'll post about that later. :) For now, here are the babies' 5 month pictures!

Elda, my Elly-Welly! :love

1000



Kit! Kit-kit's been squatting occasionally! :D

1000



Georgie, big clumsy stompy-foot!

1000



Lovely Louise!

1000



Mabel, who oddly enough, is developing spurs! :confused:

1000



Pretty Poppy!

1000



And big-boned Violet! :love

1000
 
A few more pictures of the young ladies! The obligatory Elda cuddle! :love

1000



Elda again! Not sure what she's doing. :lol:

1000



Georgette is one bird I wouldn't want to get on the bad side of. :oops:

1000



Violet doesn't quite have the angry look down.

1000



She's so pretty! :love

1000
 
And finally, the reason I've been super busy getting things around, there are some new additions to the family! :D Yesterday, my pair of Call Ducks came home! Their color is Butterscotch and they are pretty young. I don't have an exact age, but I'm thinking 4-5 months.

1000



The drake's name is Malcolm. He's a pretty cool guy. His quack makes me giggle!

1000



The young lady, Trudi. She's always tweeting at Malcolm to wait up or share what he's eating, or this or that. :lol: She's got a set of lungs on her, too!

1000



They are pretty shy, so I'm working on taming them down with lots of treats. :D They are very sweet together, though. Whenever they get separated, they quack and quack until they reunite. They're always waddling across their pen side-by-side or in single file. :love Now if only they'd figure out the steps next to their pool so they can swim. :rolleyes:
 
They are, aren't they? :love I am quite fond of small things (bantam chickens and their little eggs, cute little knick-knacks, etc.), so Calls were the natural choice for me when I decided to get ducks.

Speaking of the two of them, here is a video of them yesterday when I was bribing them for their love with scratch grains. :D



[VIDEO]


(Sorry for the wind sounds. :oops: But there's some cute quaking in there! Malcolm makes the 'quack' sound and Trudi makes the 'tweet-tweet' sound.)

Well, it's that time of the month again! The babies are 6 months old today! :) Well, not a whole lot is happening here. I've recently been quite sick (thank you, kindergarten--my niece brings everything home :rolleyes: ), but not too sick to get out and see my girls, of course! :) Anyway, on to the girls!

It's been quite cold here and the babies experienced their first snow a few days ago. It didn't even slow them down! :eek: Here we go!

Elda--Always miss bright eyes!

1000



Kit-kit the talker. She's talking more and more lately it seems!

1000



Georgie, who squatted for the first time over the last week!! :celebrate

1000



Louise, my shiny little dear. She has become more friendly recently. :love

1000



Miss Mabel the boss of the babies. She definitely keeps the others in line!

1000



And the older two, Poppy (who absolutely refused to pose--she's the only one of the babies that is totally objecting to the cold) :

1000



And finally Violet, whose expression pretty much sums up my feelings on the weather. :lol:

1000
 
Nothing warms you up better than Elda cuddles! :love

1000



I couldn't decide which one I preferred more, so here's another Elly cuddles picture. :D

1000



Georgie! She always looks so serious!

1000



Georgie's a snow-eater. :confused:

1000



Kit-kit, thinking hard about things, I'm sure. :lol:

1000



Louise again--she's so shiny! :love

1000



Mabel apparently didn't like the extra pictures I was taking. :lol:

1000



And finally, the three amigas. These three seem inseparable! Left to right, of course, is Mabel, Louise, and Georgie.

1000




Edited for a misspell.
