Enjoying your duckling photos.
I have seven teenage Silver Appleyard ducklings whose antics, are quite amusing as they learn to navigate the 'outside' world. Coexisting with a small Muscovy flock and a few chickens.
Also a Muscovy mom is raising her ten babies in a garden storage shed on our deck. Move over, lawn furniture...make way for ducklings!
And their kiddie pool.
