A Quacktacular Overload!
Wow! I can't believe my ducklings are just about six weeks old and they look so different!
From this:
To this:
I believe we have two drakes and one hen but I'm not 100% positive yet. I'm definately not up to date on duck sexing 101, so I'm judging by color only. They happily roam our yard during the day and we tuck them away in their cage at night. They're also starting to get their quacks going, but right now, they're reminiscent of Peter Brady. The drakes have beautiful shades of emerald green, cobalt blue, and teal in their wings and the little hen is a beautiful snowy white. They are so much fun to watch waddle around and swim in their little pool.
Thanks for looking!

When will they be at roasting size? LOL

No, not roasting size yet. Good grief Gump!!! They're pets! And yes, Grandpa D is an excellent quacksitter. The duckies groomed his ankles and now they have hairballs. It really makes their "quack" quite distinct.
