Duck!
One week – Awwwww. We think they are (from left to right) a Swedish Blue (yellow), a Swedish Blue (Grey), and an Indian Runner Duck (Brown).
Looking very much like a Swedish Blue Indian Runner Duck at this stage! 3 weeks old – learning to swim in the spa-bath.
At 6 weeks – they are outside in their run (Thank Goodness! Ducklings are messy and and a bit too smelly for close quarters!) and to see them clowning around in the dug-in laundry sink is charming in its silliness.
They’re beautiful! I can’t decide what I like best about them — the lanky uprightness of the Runner Duck, so different from common ducks around here, or their placid smiles, or the colour differences in their bills and feet and feathers…what fun!
They are lovely, despite losing the cute fluffiness of their babyness – they make me smile
They are soooo cute!!
The white one looks so elegant
