Just got a few ducklings in the mail today. This is the third time I've had ducks.

Last flock they were laying regularly and we hatched a few. One of the mothers hatched 15 her first laying. Here's one of the ones I hatched in an incubator.

Cool! Never had ducks before. I had chickens a few times and my little girl named every last one of them peeps, like the candy. Somehow, even with the same name, they knew which one she was talking to.

We just came back from the barn. Every 20 minutes they want to see the ducks.

They are all doing great and running around like Velociraptors (the ducks that is).

Sometimes when I would be on the ranch in Texas, there would be a hatch of new Ostriches. I would take them for walks and it was so funny cuz you just go "peep peep peep" and the next thing you know you've got one awkward little ostrich running toward you and then the others would fall right into line. The next thing you know you have a trail of 16 inch high ostriches happily walking along behind you all going "peep peep peep"....

Makes me smile to think of those times... :)
