.......If I should be excited or dissapointed LOL
ok I recently posted about the ducks I "use" to have that ended up being whistle ducks. and that I thought maybe the other eggs we had were either whistlers or wood ducks.

WELL!

neither. not even mallard

around 10 OR MORE. of those water birds you see in ditches sometimes, Black feathers, Red beak, and I think red legs, Hatched out today!!!

They look like a DUCK! swim and stuff and all that, but their beak is pointed shaped, and they got chicken feet!


Anyone know the name of these guys?

I dont got pics we're going to pick them up this weekend.
