Are you ready for more cuteness?

Final tally....10.

And she had 4 more eggs left in the nest. Where did she get all those eggs??? I thought she had 8 at the most!

Looks like I have at LEAST 5 drakes. Shessshhh. 2 girls are already sold to a BYCer :D

Nope!

Apparently when you cross a hatchery fawn indian runner with a show quality welsh harlequin, the resulting ducklings kinda look like rouens.

The mixed ducklings I can't. The purebreds are easy. Girls have pinkish bills. The boys have dark bills.

Hehehehehehe, once I get my goats I will "owe" you! You NEED ducks. They are cute and funny. You MUST get some! My drakes make the softest, neatest little sounds. They are SOOOOO much FUN. You can not live another day without ducks!

There is nothing cuter than watching ducks dive in the water...
or that snuffly/grunty/quacky sound they make when they are hunting for bugs...
or the way they wiggle their butts...
or the way they act like they are always starving to death even when you just filled their bowl and they want more lettuce...
or their puffy fluffy cheeks...
or the way they try to fly even though they are really bad at it....
