Ducklings.

Ducklings hatched Monday and arrived today. Two Khaki Campbells and two Fawn and White Runner ducks.

A few thoughts.

Our post office did a fabulous job of noticing the box of live birds that came in this morning. I got the call at five AM.

One of the Runner ducks is very loud.

After getting them safely home and into their box, they all immediately started eating and drinking.

I think they grew while I've been watching them.

I think I'm going to need a bigger box.

I did guineas one year and they grew while I watched them. The resident Canada Geese also hatch a clutch every year and they too mature with alarming rapidity. I guess it's a Bird Thing.

The pattern with chicks seems to be eat, sleep, wake up bigger. I swear the ducks were skipping right past the sleeping stage and growing while still bouncing around the box.
