In a few days the ducklings will be three weeks old. This morning when I went to take photos of all the seedlings, Dom and I noticed them all standing at the front of the brooder looking up at me.
I cracked a smile and said, “Look at how they are all standing there looking at me Dom!” Then he says, “Well, I think they might be really hungry since their feeder is empty.” AHAHAHAHAHH!*laughing HARD*
I turned the camera towards them to capture this priceless moment, when they all seemed to understand that we feed and care for them.
A very short video of them eating this morning:
I thinned out the tomato plants, and this is what they looked like before thinning:
And after thinning:
Ahh, that’s better!
Other things are growing as well:
Pickling cucumbers
Loofah
Red cardoon and purple artichokes
Sweet peppers three weeks late!
Huckleberry and eggplant
These are all duck eggs, from the largest to the smallest. They are all becoming larger now that the weather is warming up. Its interesting also how they vary in color. Whether the eggs are large or small, one thing always seems to remain the same, and that is the size of the yolk. Okay, well that last egg on the right is probably a wind egg or fart egg, so I don’t imagine much is going on with the yolk.
That top photo is absolutely adorable! I love those little faces with the rounded bills. Everything looks terrific.
Hi Tamatha,Thanks, they are growing so fast they won’t be so cute in a few weeks. LOL Unfortunately these ducks are the ugliest ducks you can ever raise. When I told my kids that, they found it hard to believe until they googled Muscovy ducks to see what they will look like. š
I’m getting ready to transfer the tomatoes and cucumbers into larger pots. Its still too cold here to put them outside.
They will be ugly???? But they are so cute! Are they loud?
Yes, usually very ugly with this red wart like skin around their beak and eyes.
They don’t quack at all unless very scared, instead they whistle and hiss. They are the best types of ducks to have in a city situation. They also don’t need a pool of water, just a waterer to help clear their nostrils.
