Yes........they are Waterfowl!

Hi and Welcome back to the Chicken Coop!!
The Ducks are getting SO big!
We are realizing that they really do love the water. :)
The splash their water all over their brooder box, like 3 times a day! I mean like ALL over!!
So we filled a box up with a little water and we put them in it to see what would happen, and they LOVE it!! They are adorable to watch! They try to swim and to dive and oh they are soooo cute!!
Ginger is getting HUGE! When she is full grown she will be 9 pounds.........that is a big duck! :)
We think that Puddle is a Mallard, and she is getting big too, she will only be 2 pounds full grown so she will be pretty small.

Here are a couple pictures of them in their water bin- :)

 
Here they are!! They LOVE it!
 
 
 
They are beginning to molt, so they are so itchy!!
Here is Puddle stretching her wings!
Too Cute!
 
 
Here is Puddle stretching her wings again and Ginger
itching!

 
Here I am looking at them in the box!

 
This is the inside of their brooder, they were too big for their
little brooder so we moved them to a big one!
 
Well God Bless,
