Cute babies!
She bit me a little but a few of them weren't hand shy at all and I scritched a few duckling bellies today
We have wild ducks around us and it's always fun to see them waddling with the ducklings across a walkway or through our neighborhood. They're super friendly too and will walk right by you, though being wild I haven't tried to approach any of them.
I see a muscovy mama's wing. Are they all hers or do other girls lay eggs in her nest? Lots of different colors in that set.
So I didn't spot any other girls frequenting the greenhouse, which leads me to believe they could all be hers. Our two boys are 'chocolate' and 'pied', so with her 'pied' genetics they could all be hers and the colors might be crazy.
Generally speaking the yellow bits will be light and the brown parts will be black or brown, with browns and sometimes green or an iridescent purple being kore common on the yellow ducklings.
Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!
