Two new videos from the Incubator-Gang, recorded on Sunday morning. By now all twelve ducknager and ducklings are doing just fine.

Such beautiful babies!!!! I loved watching the pitter patter of those little feet. Thanks for sharing.

So, basically, sleepsleepsleepsleepsleep.

The little one is tentatively nick-named Prince/Princess Valium…

I still have a terrible diet. The duck eggs are the only thing I eat that are good for me! My diet consists of 99% sugar. My theory is You are What You Eat so I must be VERY SWEET!!!! LOL

I am trying to avoid candy and sodas as much as possible. And if i eat something sweet, i make sure that it is without high fructose corn syrup. Too much fructose is (imho!) causing the obesity/diabetics wave we see in this country.

So adorable! Love how #12 still hasn't figured out balance yet.

He is much better by now. Also has gained some weight, from 39 grams to 59 grams.

Happy Mid-Week Day to Everybody!​

Super hot here, 33° (91F) and the ducks are all panting. They promised us some overnight rain, but that must have evaporated before reaching the ground...

Duckling #12 spent its last night sleeping on my chest:

Being pooped on five times is a great motivation to let go…

Remember these guys?

They are now almost fully feathered and it looks like i won the second place in the drake-lottery: Three ducks and one drake! - The brown, gray and the smaller black birds are all Ducks.

They are almost two months old now.

I am blessed. My Dad was a diabetic but I have been very fortunate so far and my doctor just told me my fat to body ratio was what it was supposed to be. I found that hard to believe but because I do not eat much pasta nor any red meat I think that must be what saves me.

I still eat way to many carbs!
I love pasta, rice, bread and pizza.
But i have switched to brown-rice and i bake my own whole-wheat bread, just don't like to switch to whole-wheat pasta and pizza - yuck!!!
My healt has improved a lot since i moved from Texas to West-Virginia, i am forced to be much more active outside, regardless of the weather and than makes me burn more calories and loose weight. Drs. are happy with my blood samples, except when i have wolfed-down black-licorice by the pound and my triglycerides are always way too high. The doctors back in Germany thought that i am a mutant…
