Ducklings!

We just brought home 5 ducklings. The grey one is a Blue Indian Runner and the four yellow ones are Fawn Indian Runners.  The Blue is hatchery run so there's a 50% chance it will be a drake, the others should all be female.

 
Conan has named the grey one Bird. The yellow ones are named Ice Cream, Cake, Cupcake and Cookie. He named them after his favorite things.  He is very, very gentle when he handles them, so he got to take each one out of the box and put it into the house.
 
The baby chickens have sucessfully moved in with Chicken. We lost one of the Partridge Reds to some kind of predator, but the other 7 are doing very well.
