Duck pictures

Still in the works, but feel free to look =)




So now our ducks are grown up, and some of them are looking quite different. Quacky, the only male out of the Khaki Cambells now has a green head. The rest of the ducks, except for the Mallards, are all a chocolate brown.



They greatly enjoy the pool that we sometimes fill with water for them to play in. They can splash water an unbelievable distance.
This is the Mallard that we believe is a girl sitting in the grass. Including the head, a Mallard is a little bigger than a football.
(starting here pics are left formatted)














They use bricks as stairs to get in the pool.


They also try to go diving, but the pool isn't deep enough.















Waiting in line...


They like to be clean.








We built the ducks a pen with a door into a shed.
















We also built a duck tractor, a wooden structure that can be lifted and moved, almost like a portable pen.















The inside of the shed has straw on the floor and a door into the outside pen.











The ducks love hiding in our bushes as well.
















Here's a duck who wants to stir things up a bit.











Some of the ducks like being held.





















Its surprisingly hard to get them into their duck tractor!















They love any kind of bug you feed them.
Well, that seems to be enough for now. Gotta go.
