Updated pics of the Runner ducklings (pic heavy)

[TennesseeTruly]

The babies are growing so quickly! They've already more than doubled in size since they were born last week. I can't keep enough food in their bowls, they're constantly eating everything in it. I've never had more than 2 baby ducklings at a time...all I can say is WOW!!

They're so much different than the Pekins or the Call ducks. The Runners all move as though they're one. One moves and they all follow closely. I absolutely love watching them. I wished they were just a bit older today because it was almost 80 out.

Here's pictures I took a little while ago while they were running around on my living room floor.

Those are fun pictures of your runners! Really like the picture quality of the first ones...

They are utterly adorable, I love that one guy inspecting the little spot on the floor while everyone else is just casually standing around.
And the one where they are in such a tight unit they're almost weaving their beaks together.

Hi - Great pics!

Was wondering if it was ok to use them on my info page about ducks + ducklings:

http://www.squidoo.com/identification_of_australian_ducks_and_ducklings

of course I would credit them as your work and add any link to a (g-rated) website that you would like.

I am a native animal rescuer, and it is great to have pictures of ducklings
as a reference to ID them when they come in

And are the yelow ducklings like a smoky yellow, or is that just the flash?
They are all cute regardless!!!
