Make way for ducklings
Say hello to the newest members of my family:
I have ten baby Swedish Blue ducklings now. They're pretty adorable. When they get a little older, they're going to live on a relative's farm. But, while they're still tiny, fluffy and sweet, they're staying with me.
They were hatched yesterday, and spent several hours in a mail truck before making their way here, but that didn't do a thing to lessen their ducky instincts. After they all took turns trying to paddle around their food/water dish, I took them outside for their very first group swim. In a cake pan. It was grand fun. Then, tonight, I made them watch Lost with me from their cage. It's hard to translate their "beep beep beep"s, but I think they liked it.

Agggggh. The cuteness! :) Thanks for this, it made me smile at work this a.m. when I really needed it.
I KNOW! I find myself looking at them and giggling for no reason sometimes.
I loved that book
Me too! I liked Blueberries for Sal too, but not as much. I like ducks.
Oh my god I want a duckling.
they ARE pretty cute. They're huge now, though. All they do is eat and puddle around in water, so I guess that makes them grow FAST. They've like quadrupled in size.
