Muscovy ducks- First Bath week 4

Today i've placed a kitty tray into the coop for the ducklings and threw Donna(the 1st one i can catch) into the water. They are scared and jump out of it quickly. Food always work so I tear up a few lettuce and place into the water and threw Donna again into the water, followed by Debbie. Doesn't take them long to get used to the water and soon they are splashing around and eating the lettuce. Davey is mummy's boy and he hang around Elvis to make sure nothing happen to him.I tried to place Davey into the water but he doesn't like it and jump out quickly.

I've changed the water in the duck bath and give the duckings an opportunity to swim in the "big" open. Look at Donna having a dive!



 Davey seems more relaxed now (it was hard to catch him) in the duck bath.




Ducks are being jealous, they are eyeing the water and waiting for their chance to jump in.

Donna having one last dive while Davey and Debbie dry themselves. 

Watch Donna have her 1st dive and the jealous ducks hang around.....

Muscovy ducks- week 3

The ducklings are growing fast and well. Still no sign of catching flies on their own. Donna has taken a big step  in going for the fly when we feed it to her. Davey and Debbie are still rather timid.

Mother Elvis gets very upset when i pick up the ducklings to pet as they make crying sounds to their mum.

Davey is the furtherest away (with a stripe across its eye), Donna is grooming herself and Debbie is on the right

how could something so cute grow into something so ugly??
