Ducks! Ducks! Ducks!

so, you know I said we have some ducklings, right? well, boy do we ever have some ducklings, and for the first time when I went out this morning to feed and water it was hot in their brooder/coop.
I fed/watered them, and they are going through a whole trough of chick starter/grower in 12 hours, and running out of the three gallons of water available in the same time period; anyway, it was so warm in the coop and promises to be quite a warm day, I decided to let them out of the coop. Boy oh boy did they think that was grand! They were absolutely enthralled by the amount of bugs and grass that was available for them to eat. Here are a few photos:




















Here they are coming out for the first time, figuring out that it's ok to come out, finding some yummy, crunchy buggies, and beginning to taste a tiny bit of the real world.
Enjoy!
