The Duck Thread

Ahah ok thanks

They sure are cute, would like to give some advise, keeping them on slippery news paper can cause spraddle leg they need to be on something where they can get traction when walking like old towels that can be shaken out and washed or pine shavings. Towels are best for first week.

forgot to add the lil Lucky if solid brown maybe Khaki Campbell, What color is Daffy hard to tell in the pic.

it has one sibling out and probably good to go but another one with a severe umbilical hernia. My A/C went out and it got HOT upstairs, so it thickened the inner membrane and it was so thick/gelatinous that the later ducklings couldn't pip internally properly. Anyway, sprayed the umbilicus with some veterycin, so we'll see how it goes, God willing.

Sorry about the first one, they are on my shoulder area and I can't see the viewer when I take the picture myself. My husband took the second picture.

Maybe daffy is a mix but it will be interesting to see how they change over the next couple of weeks. he could also be blk swedish.
