Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

Bobbles is adorable! Definitely is a tiny little cutie pie (rather a cutie slice because he's nowhere near big enough to be an entire cutie pie)

Aww thanks! I love Bobbles! Bobbles is doing well. Lol that made me laugh really hard! A cutie slice! I just love that expression!

I have a Bobbles update:
He is doing wonderful and definitely holds his own with the big ducklings! He will be 4 weeks old on Monday and is just as feisty as can be!
He still has barely grown but is finally beginning to feather out! Most of his hatch mates have almost fully feathered
All the other babies were able to move outside but he’s still little so he’s staying in side with the week old (Mustard)... Is it possible that he’s going to be really tiny as an adult? He eats, drinks, and poops well. He has also been receiving supplemental vitamin B. He is slightly pigeon toed from the look of it but I don’t think it could be nutrient related since I’ve been giving him vitamin B since hatch. It’s more like his feet curve slightly inward to the point that it doesn’t affect him. His toenails in the middle also curve inward. He is very healthy though and loves to zoom all around the house! Such a special little fella!
Mind the food on him, he just ate before this picture...

Be still my heart! I just love Bobbles so much and this post made for a wonderful start to my Saturday. Gah, he's such a cutie (slice)! Are his legs really short or is it just the pictures? Does dwarfism (that's not been bred for) exist in ducks? I'm so happy he's doing so well and getting spoiled rotten

Aww, thanks! Me too! He is such a joy! He sure is a cutie slice!
Yes, his legs are very short. I think that dwarfism is possible in ducks. I’m starting to think he might have a form of it. I’m glad he’s doing well too! He loves to snuggle and chases me everywhere!
He is most definitely spoiled but I don’t mind!

@Miss Lydia I finally got some pictures of Bobbles and my dog! This is right before he decided to bite my Buddy right on the nose! He is such a feisty one!
My poor 30 lb dog ran scared for his life!

That's a pretty doggie.

That's a pretty doggie.

Thanks! He’s a 9 year old Shetland Sheepdog named Buddy. I took him in as a rescue last year.
He is an absolute sweetie!

Precious pictures.

Precious pictures.

Thanks!

They weren’t very good quality but Bobbles playing with my dog is just the sweetest thing! I just love to watch them!


How are things over there? Are all the ducks (and not to forget the geese and chickens) doing well?
