The wild ducklings are looking a lot more like ducks now. The one with a sore leg succumbed a couple of nights ago, so now there are five ducklings. Jack has put a basin of water in their pen for them to swim in. We bought some growers' mash for them in town this week, but some of the corn in it is a bit big for them. I think they prefer the ground up cattle food. They're not easy to photograph, but this picture shows one of them clearly. Funny how their beaks are changing colour from black to pink.
They sure are growing quickly!
ReplyDeletePoor little duck - hope the other five make it.
ReplyDeleteNice to see them at this time of year and the survivors look great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity you lost one, but the others look in good health, thanks for the update.
