They are SO HUGE already...

My gosh, seems like just the other day they were just eggs, now they're 4 week old ducklings, and enormous! Izzy has done a good job with the littles. And their color pattern is so interesting. Two of the ducklings also have the weirdest bill markings. Hmmm. Thought I would share a few pics of the big, little babies.

Threw a few of the Runners in there too, because they're just so pretty. lol

Duece:

Runners of course, off in their own little group as always:

Gorgeous runners

I think Pekins grow the fastest...mine seemed to get HUGE overnight!

Thanks guys. I'm still waiting for the runners to finish their final molt, so I can see their adult colors.

The little ducklings are Pekin/Swedish mixes. So maybe that's why they are growing so fast. lol The runners seemed to have grown slowly compared to these guys.

WOW!!! Everyone got big in a hurry didnt they. Beautiful

I know, lol. If I didn't know any better, I'd wonder if they got into the Miracle-Gro.

Thank you! It's been so neat to watch the little ones hatch, and then grow into big ducklings so quick.

I wasn't sure about having mixed breed babies, but they are too adorable to argue with.

Oh and anyone know when the Runners will finish with the final molt and have adult feathers?
