    I took Darwin in last night.... the little ones just eyeballed him and vice versa... I think Darwin was wondering what they were!

    No Names as yet...

    Any suggestions on how to get the goop off them which is now well dried... ?

    They are the cutest little things - I love the black fluffball! I will have to find one in my area one day, Sara's Kai looks beautiful with the green sheen. I wonder if the yellow one is going to turn out to be something else? Maybe find out if the person you got the eggs from has other breeds as well? Hope that Darwin is nice to them!

    Sally,

    I just love these pictures. So cute!!!!!!! You did a wonderful job with 'birthing' them.

    It will be such fun watching them grow along with Darwin in your nice warm season, as we all settle into the cold weather.

    Hopefully that will hold us till the Spring comes again to the rest of the world!

    Blessings,
    Dottie

    They are so cute. If they are strong enough they may like to paddle in very shallow water, but make sure it's just for a short while 20 mins or so and then they can go back in the brooder for warmth.

    Hi Sally
    How nice you have 2 different colours, your yellow one will likely be white.

    Hope they do well for you.

    I can't wait to see what colors they turn as they grow. (which as we all know won't take very long....)

    I suspect the yellow one will be white with other colors mixed in and the black one will have some light colors (definitely on the chest and it looks like maybe around the face too...)

    What a wonderful and special group of ducks these are- these two and Darwin. And to think- we are all the Aunties! (and maybe a few uncles)

    Hi Everyone - they are very sweet little ones - Dottie Darwin also had the yellow chest - that is normal for Cayugas - I am sure it will be black and green - Darwin is turning Green which is VERY exciting I will try and get a photo up soon! THe Yellow one - we that is goung to be a mystery.... The lady I got the eggs from assures me that they only have cayugas and is perplexed about Ivory... I dont think (s)he would have survived if it had hatched down there - but here it is destined to have a happy life!!
    Anyway I am procrastinating now - Off to Uni - contract Law exam this time - wish me luck!

    Hope the contract Law went well, I could never get my head around such a complicated subject. I'm studying Genealogy (family history), it's taking me years, but very interesting.
    Also, looking forward to pictures of Darwin in his new green/black coat.
