The Quack Shack

They are not motorized, that's just the neighbor clearing out some grass...

Gorgeous. I think they are going to be silvers. Which I prefer wait till they get the electric blue wing feathers.

They are SO different ...

- some have quite dark coloring on their backs and the backs of their necks

- some have darkish-brown heads (vs. a lighter brown over the rest of the body)

- some have quite serious claws (???) more so than our adult Khakis

- some have light bills with a dark spot at the end and others have dark ones, the dark ones are supposed to be female (at this age) but a light-billed one was (and remains) the first one quacking

- some tend more toward black and white hues (silvers?), some more toward various shades of grey (golds?)

- there is one duckling so small (at the center of the video frame the first 10 secs) that it's half the length and width of the largest one, but it's behaving normally in every way, it's just amazingly small

They took easily to fodder peas soaked and crushed, whether on their own or with cooked eggs -- it's their preferred food really. Sprinkled with brewers' yeast and they also still receive vitamin/mineral powder in their water.

That’s what I have. Got two of them 10 years ago and one is still living the other died recently. Wonderful Ducks. And So So pretty. The part that’s blue is called the speculum.
