    Something very right about little ducklings getting pea treats. And having pink teddy bears. :) :) :)

    Of course it is.

    Ducks. They fly all over the world. How did we miss that connection?

    Well, he feels a bit neglected when there are ducklings so I thought I'd give him naming rights to compensate him. He won't tell me what he's settled on though...

    Do you want to play with my Squeaky?

    No? How about I just stare then.

    In their outdoor house (which they are living in during the daytime).

    The little one is still smaller but is doing very well. They are all growing fast! :) Their favourite food is peas (natch) followed by lettuce, chickweed, bok choy and spinach. They informed me today that they do not like chicory and will have no more of that, thank you.

    Ooo - they've grown! Looking good! Big yellow is very handsome (the others are lovely too).

    I hate chicory, so quite understand.

    Sending virtual peas. xxx

    I grow chicory as a green feed for the ducks. The adult ducks like it, but I guess it's a bit bitter for the babies. It's a good perennial green feed :)
