    That’s a weird looking foot, but those guys are adorable! I love the graceful curve of their heads and beaks, and their softness.

    (the text, it hovers)

  18. Kats says:

    That foot is adorable!

  19. ding says:

    AHNNNN. Until now I had no idea that ducks have tiny claws on the ends of their toesies, or that they had a fourth toe up on their ankle. Can they use that fourth toe to grip things? Anybody know?

  20. Sahrawi Wife says:

    Tiny Ducky winglets and tiny ducky clawsies !! Who Knew Duckys had clawsies!YAY! Babbe duckies!!!

  21. Shannon says:

    Try rehabbing the darling little buggers! They most certainly have little teensy claws, lol!

    I’m no expert tho – I can’t seem to make up my mind what breed they are. So that prolly means Muscovy mixes? Beautiful colors on them.

    The “ankle” claws could serve purposes from mating, poss grooming or even climbing on trees. Think wood ducks! Not knowing what breed I couldn’t swear what the specific purpose would be for these guys.

    OH and your Public Service announcement for the day: If you feed ducks, geese, etc please use cracked corn instead of bread! The bread won’t hurt them but it’s not healthy for them either. Corn is much better!

  22. chicken1mama says:

  31. ElishaB says:

    They’re so Fuzzy!! Just want to hold them and love them and listen to them quack.

    Ahhh and awwww!!!

  32. Theresa says:

    Reminds me of my cousin, who just had a baby boy– he told the three-year-old twins that they were going to have a baby brother, and that his name would be Declan.

    The two three-year-olds gave the father a “WTF?!!” look, and one said, incredulously, “DUCKLING?!?”

  33. thepetmuseum says:

    Pink duckling sole! I just BET duckling souls are pink too. Well maybe a light fluffy fawn brown.

  34. Totalee Puppy says:

  36. Theresa says:

    People, if you haven’t looked at the other duckie pics (Warrior Rabbit give the links above), you must do so! You will not regret it!

  37. cheesybird says:

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

    You can see mom in one of the pictures on Flickr. Looks like Muscovy.

  38. Melissa G says:

    Yes, these are Muscovy ducks. They are very friendly, too, as you can see. Having ducks for neighbors can be really fun, though they do poop everywhere.

  39. cheesybird says:

    Melissa G. you’re a lucky duck!

  40. mom2twinzz says:

    @Theresa Poor kid will grow up forever being called Ducky. Trust 3 year olds to permanently scar the baby emotionally. J/K.

    My dh’s niece’s middle name is Harley D (not Dee) and her nickname is motorcycle thanks to grandpa. She’s doing okay with it execept that the jokes have not started in earnest about it yet (she’s 12) and refuses to tell ANYONE outside the family what her middle name is.

  41. Erin says:

    AWW! Baby Duckies! They are so gorgeous and these up close shots of them are terrific!

  42. Theresa says:

    PS, in this one, 2 of them appear to be ACTUALLY QUACKING!
