Ducklings get so big so fast!!! They are 2 1/2 weeks old now. They eat so much food, and are quickly growing out of their box in Thimble's closet.... So I built them a little playpen out in the backyard, made of bamboo and chicken wire.
They love to splash around in the water and be out in the sun. But they still have to come inside at night, or if no one's around to check on them every once in a while. We have at least one very curious cat at our house.



Don't you wish you had baby ducks? You can raise ducks too. I guess you would need to be able to make a pond, but a kiddie pool works just as well. Here are some websites about ducks and raising them. www.holderreadfarm.com
and Feathersite.com (the poultry pages). Or you could just come visit mine.

They are both girl ducks. About a week old now. The cutest things ever!
They live in a box under a bright, warm light
We got them because they are cute
but they will also lay eggs.
We are building them a pond out back
and they will share a daytime space with the chickens
but sleep in their own little coop at night
