Baby Ducks!

[littlefrog]

My newest hobby (I don't have enough).

Lucky is the grey one (probably black Swedish). Lucky was the only survivor of the lovely USPS shipping system. 17 of his friends were crushed, hence the name. About a week old in this picture. The other two my daughter named Cheese and Quackers. Not my fault. They are magpies, I bought them at the feed store to keep Lucky company. About a week older.



And, these are my replacement ducklings. All survived. I was supposed to have 18, but only got 16 because the shippers made a mistake. I wasn't too upset, they were alive... They are two days old. It seems that ducklings double in size every week for at least the first two weeks...
