This is the littlest duck and we think it is probably the only female. Female muscovey ducks are almost half the size of the males. It's strange how they get their feathers mostly on the front of their bodies first. You can see they have down on their backs still.
Oh dear, Ping ate a slug and still has a dirty beak!! ;0
They usually taste everything they see. Here we see they are tasting my shoe and then they tasted my denim skirt too.
This duck is the biggest and tends to sit down a lot. I think I should put him on a diet of greens only. They love to eat chopped lettuce or greens especially dandelions!
The dark feathers on their wings are actually dark green and pretty. :)

Beautiful plants!
And those ducks are growing fast!
We used to love watching our ducks eat slugs, they were the best of buds until one found a slug then it was every man for themselves; running and grabbing it from each other, frantic to gulp it down before someone snatched it from them.
Then all that was left was slime hanging from beaks. UGH
But still fun to watch. G & J
