These Mother Ducks had quite a few babies, they are all very cute and followed their Mom. I have seen multiple mallard duck families in my area and love watching them, I am amazed at how close-up I can get to them, I do not disturb them.
A beautiful day of ducking around 😜🥰 Ollie was getting pretty warm in the garage today so he’s spent most of the day outside in order to cool down. Gonna get him and the other ducks his age set up in the coop tomorrow since it’ll be warm enough now. There’s still work to be done but the main roosts are built and we won’t need nest boxes for another couple of months, at least, so they should be fine to stay in it while we continue to finish up their roaming space and whatnot.
I also have comparison photos of Ollie the Pekin next to Simon the Black Runner; they’re both the same age (around 4 weeks, starting on 5), yet Ollie is so much bigger o.o
