raising ducklings (thread)

trying peas for the first time!

first swim! (mom had a heart attack the whole time and we were allowed .7 seconds in the water)

but we loved being blow dried afterwards because it’s warm!
we outgrew our first brooder so we moved into a 120” kiddie pool that takes up moms entire family room aka the “duck room”

the kiddie pool is roomy but we can’t sleep next to mom anymore so we scream all night until she comes out here
and she does—at all hours of the night. she doesn’t sleep anymore

but we’re still 100% dependent on mom & she’s not allowed to leave. not even to use the bathroom

trying something new to keep us busy! mom wants just 1 minute to herself so we’re getting to know the ducks in the mirror

i’m growing some crazy poofy feathers on my head that’s starting to look like a crest so moms freaking out but we’re keeping an eye on it!
we’re 2 1/2 weeks old today & twice as big as when we came home! the mirror doesn’t stop us from crying for mom but we still like to cuddle up by the other ducks anyway

mom will try just about anything to get a full night of sleep—even if it means being a psycho & taping a picture of herself in the brooder. (yup, someone really recommended this & said it worked. ducks r weird)
we’re officially 3 weeks old & we’re starting to lose our fuzz to make room for feathers!
