Look How Big They Are !!!!
Posted: Wednesday, 02 May 2007 |
Here are a few pics of the ducklings that have now been removed from the brooder and set in the compound to fend for themselves. The fluffy down is turning to scruffy stubbly feathers and the colours are fading from yellow to a mottled whitish grey.
We have put them in with an old duck who is broody and her mate with the hope that they will be protected from maurauding crows and gulls and of course RATS....
I can't get over how big the ducklings have grown compared to the chicks, considering they were hatched at the same time
We have another 10 or so in the incubator and some of them are pipping as we speak so it will be round two soon.

Glad to see you are doing your utmost for the ducklings.

On picture 3: Are they going into an en-suite? Your ducks seem well provided for. Hope they avoid the rats.

Amazing hideout!! What would I not give for a drystone house, or barn or shed, or mere wall!! Is it latent romanticism, or is simply that structures made of rock LOOK more solid, more substantial. When I look at the miles of stone walls in Scotland, I am both delighted and astonished. There is nice limestone in southern Indiana, but it needs to be quarried.

What is that before we put them in the cooking pot mjc?

The way you did it last time looked scrumptious. I would be all for repeat performance.
