New Ducks

Monday I drove into town to go to the library book sale.  While I was in town I picked up 18 more fuzzies for Junie.

This is an Ancona duck  They are spotted and each one has a different pattern. They are a rare breed.  Junie wanted you to see this one that has a mohawk.

This is a Cayuga duckling.  They are jet black over their entire body including beak and little webbed feet.  They are a rare breed as well.

And Khaki Campbells.  They are prolific egg layers and super cute.

On the day I took these pictures the ducklings were playing outside in the chicken tractor.  Ducks take water in their mouths and then tip their heads up to swallow.  It’s quite comical.

But not as funny as watching them waddle run.

Or as funny as placing a pan of water on the ground in front of them.  First they evaluate. Is it water?

Then one will get brave and test the water.

And if he survives it’s all over.  In they all go.
