Ducklings!

Whew! Had to take a break from mowing so I figured I would edit some pictures and tell you about our newest editions. Duckling! One of our Muscovy hens successfully hatched out nine ducklings all by herself with no help from us. I'm so proud of her. :D

Our Muscovy drake (male).

The adorable ducklings!

I can't wait to see what color they are.
Most are black and yellow, but some
are a bluish color and some chocolate.

Aren't they adorable?!

    Oh, they are so cute! I got a Muscovy drake and two hens earlier this year and am anxiously waiting for them to give me some cute little ducklings of my own. So far they're only laying sporadically, though. You'll have to keep posting duckling pictures so I can get my fix, lol!

    Oh my GOD!! Ducklings are the most adorable things! We used to see them everyt spring back in Auckland, in the parks (lots of ponds there) - shame we don't now.

    And how interesting that the male & females Muscovies look so different!
