Shiny pink bills (do ducks have bills, or should it be beaks?). Squeee. The challenge of knitting hatlings that don’t cover their eyes… I must get designing right away.

7 Kar 03.03.08 at 8:51 am

Ok seriously, can’t we get a knit section?

8 Hon Glad 03.03.08 at 8:53 am

Seriously, though, if you looked up “ducking” in the dictionary, you’d see this picture, right?

12 Gail 03.03.08 at 11:03 am

15 RKEM 03.03.08 at 1:01 pm

I just want to “nom nom” them and then snorgle in their fluffy softness.

16 Theresa 03.03.08 at 1:17 pm

Gotta be Mini McQuackersons, right? Duckies don’t bok, they quack.

17 Carrie 03.03.08 at 1:53 pm

oh man! I want to kees the duckies! Duckies aren’t for everyone – they’re hard to raise healthily. But if you can raise them and socialize them they are great outdoor pets.

(past duckie mom)

18 Holly 03.03.08 at 1:55 pm

OMGordieHowe! I just wanna rub their little heads on my cheek. Floofy duckies! Wittle web feet! GAH! Too cute! Can’t…take ..much more!

19 VietsEatEVERYTHING 03.03.08 at 2:30 pm

21 AuntieMame 03.03.08 at 2:52 pm

Uh…a “half-formed fetus” would be an egg.

Lots of people eat them.

Sheesh.

22 ThreeCatNight 03.03.08 at 3:11 pm

Darling little ducklets.

23 Kirby 03.03.08 at 3:36 pm

Just LOOK at the SHINE on those bills! Someone took great care to find the perfect clear polish and a nice soft buffing cloth. *snorgle*

24 Pliny 03.03.08 at 3:41 pm

They are so CLEAN! Perhaps, too clean? j/k

The Tractor Supply store in my town always has duckies and chickies around Easter time (for farmers- not for disposable animal toys for spoiled kids’ baskets) and I like to stop in and pet them, though I stick out like sore thumb in the farming store…
The chickies are pretty oblivious, and are easily caught to cuddle, but the duckies, are clever and usually evade being scooped up.

25 zeldapie 03.03.08 at 4:09 pm

I lurve their shiny bills!! I wanna snorgle the fluffums!

26 Theo 03.03.08 at 5:11 pm

AuntieM — I dunno if I agree with your bioscience, there… I’m pretty sure they don’t put scrambled fetuses in my breakfast purritos. (That’d require *fertilized* eggs.)

27 pyrit 03.03.08 at 5:13 pm

…said Theo in his Cliff Claven voice.

28 Theo 03.03.08 at 5:24 pm

LOL, Pyrit… Cliffy definitely works, but I was actually thinking of Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand’s character in “Fargo”). Dunno if I agree with yer detective work, ther.

29 pyrit 03.03.08 at 5:34 pm

You betcha.
Wait, wait, Cliffy was a mailman, and Marge’s hubby got his duck painting on a stamp, …so um …ayup.

30 taj 03.03.08 at 5:55 pm

OMG, these are so cute, but they can’t exist!

They’re a “pair-o’-ducks!”

(say it out loud, you’ll get it!)

31 pyrit 03.03.08 at 6:09 pm

Oh taj. You better duck, and run away!

32 CheshireCat 03.03.08 at 7:23 pm

That is the LAST straw, I can’t stand it anymore! *hops in car and drives over to feed store to snorgle bebeh ducklings*

33 Tricia Garrett 03.03.08 at 7:50 pm

Brand spanking new bills. Web web!

34 A 03.03.08 at 8:10 pm

Possibly the cleanest ducklingks ever!

35 Annie 03.03.08 at 9:00 pm

Sigh Ducklings..
Ps when we had the rooster we had fertilized eggs all the time.

42 snoopysnake 03.05.08 at 3:43 am

Cosmetic companies (crueltry-free ones, of course) take note – I want matchinks lipstick and nail polish in baby duckling bill color.

43 catablob 03.05.08 at 1:57 pm

major beadie eye factor here.

44 nuri 03.05.08 at 9:00 pm

Gotta… get… ducklings…

45 Traci 03.06.08 at 5:11 pm

I actually found a home for these 2 Ducklings, where they made it to adulthood, and grew into BIG white Ducks.
I live in a big apartment complex with lots of ponds & streams, so..I have had, (on many occasions) Ducklings swimming in my bathtub, cuddling with me, (up under my chin) and nibbling my ear. They should be fed Turkey mash, of which you can buy at your local “farmer supply store”. They also need to be kept warm at this young age, preferably with a 100wt light bulb over them. And there you have it…Ducklings 101.
