They are so sweet, their coloring is so pretty. Big difference for sure though, our babies were much lighter as babies (I got super distracted looking through all of our baby photos, lol)

how old are they in these pictures? Our babies were 3 weeks yesterday

Can't believe it's been 3 weeks already! I think the pic of just the 1 duck is 4 weeks and the other of Leonard and Sheldon in the pool was about 5 weeks.
So funny going through all the old pics, their bodies get so much bigger and such tiny little wings

I think overnight they're getting fawn feathers on their chests!

The little ones arrived!
8 ladies and 1 stud, all Buff & White.

Now here I got a bit worried, but the lil miss was just napping.

Beautiful babies! I know when they nap like that it can be really scary especially first time we see it.

Lol, with the rest of the standing in the corner, I thought they knew something I didn't.

When these two new ones hatched they both laid like that first day. I had to touch them just to make sure.

Wow! So many beautiful ducks! May my remaining four runner ducks join the club?
We started in June 2018 with six adorable yellow fluff balls:

That quickly grew into noisy teenagers:

Unfortunately we lost the runt to a sudden cold snap, but the others kept on going:

Limpy, the smaller drake got sick and is limping since then:

But with the help of Katharina Duck, his nurse he got up on his webbed feet again:

Then in Spring this year we lost Donald, our large drake to an unknown predator:

But the remaining four ducks enjoy their lifes, although they hated the snow in the winter:
