Outside

We have moved our two oldest ducklings outside.

They are almost completely feathered out.

All prepared for the great outdoors.

Good thing because it got really cold their first night.

They have gotten along pretty well with the flock...
I should say the flock hasn't bullied them too much.

We do enjoy having them inside but the duck yuck as they get older is quite potent!

Not to mention that one of them was quacking.

So that leaves us with these four ducklings.

They are 3 weeks old now.

Although they are the same age, the Pekin is quite a bit larger than the others.

Pekins grow quicker because they are a meat bird.

They don't hold still very well for pictures.

They are rapidly approaching the ugly duckling stage.

Two of them seem to be noisier than the others.

We're pretty sure they might be hens.

We're really hoping the other two start making more noise too.

Only time will tell.
