Henry and I have been wanting some baby ducks for a while now. We have a pond out in the woods that would be perfect for them. I found some ducklings for sale over the weekend and went and picked up four. They are Call Ducks. The three smaller ones were about 5 days old, and there is one that is a little older and quite a bit bigger than the others. After a few hours of having them we decided they will be better off staying around our yard, and having a coop closer to the house because they are so domesticated. They will follow us everywhere we go. It is so cute! They love to swim around in the little pool we bought for the dogs, and hang out on the rocks. Henry built them a small home for now, but will have to get moving on their permanent home soon because they will be full-grown in no time!

I will update with more pictures as they grow and get their new house to live in. The dogs met them last night. Zoe wants to eat them, of course, and Lucky is just curious. Ozzi couldn't care less. The plan is to let them roam around during the day while we're home and the dogs are inside, and be in the coop while we're gone, at night, and while the dogs are out.
