Donald & Daisy have Baby's

i can't believe the difference now WS - wow 4 weeks and they are all grown up.

It's been great following their progress, thanks for the daily/weekly instalments

Lai

Oh bless them, look they're all grown up!! Time has flown!! Haven't Donald and Daisy done well

Don't they grow so quickly, its amazing how fast they change from little yellow chicks into white ducks. They are gorgeous WS and how proud must D&D be they have done such a fantastic job with them all.
Are all the chicks going to stay on the farm WS? i'm now doing my usual silly thing of worrying about them all being split up, it would be lovely if they could all stay together.

The Ducklings or perhaps I should say Little Ducks are now 6 weeks old, and they are all being very naughty along with their Mum and Dad they wont go to bed at night. We have all tried everything to get them in at night even throwing stones into the water to try to scare them, but nothing works. We are just keeping our fingers X there are no night time predators around they have been doing it for the last week or so



I have a short nightime Video although its not good quality it shows they are not frightend when you go near them. I will put that on later
WS

help ............. I hope you don't have any foxes around then WS, I don't like to say what used to happen to my little black welsh mountain lambs when the fox decided to visit

Lai

I know Lai thats what we are worried about, although they do get in the water fast if something upsets them. dont know if thats going to be protection enough
WS

Fingers crossed for them WS - you and Mrs S will have to take it in turns to look after these ducklings

Lai

Bless them! I can't believe how time has flown! 6 weeks

I do hope they're alright!! I think you need to do night shifts, checking on them!!

WOW they are proper little Ducks now I am scared for them WS and you and Mrs S deffo need to be doing shifts, I couldn't bare anything to happen to them or D&D. Can you not get stuff to scare the foxes off maybe there is some nice treat to get them in at night, how about following Mrs S with her tomatoes, if D&D followed her maybe the little ones would as well, its a thought.
Please let them all be ok, my hearts all a dither now with worry, you know me WS, it'll be sleepless nights worrying about them all. I hope your next video isn't too scary.

We have tried the Tomatoe trick but that did'nt work either. So we are at a loss as to what to do. I think we can only hope their natural instincts keep them safe, although thats difficult with D&D being brought up by Humans although they must be getting a taste for the wild outdoors, because if they decided to go in so would the Kids.
Night Shifts
WS

It's definiately got to be shifts then WS D&D are so tame, i'm so worried for them all, my panic button has been hit this evening and i'm full of worry already, I know i'm a nutter but I just cant help it. I pray they will all be safe tonight.

Donald & Daisy and the duckies are doing fine despite their nights out. Ireally need to get a video of them all waddleing together so you can see the size they are now at 7 weeks old, but here's a couple of snaps



Thats Daisy at the front of the Pics
WS

they are gorgeous WS - how lovely to see they are all safe and well.

Lai

They are so beautiful WS, they still have their little chick faces a bit don't they. D&D have done so well to keep them all safe......and one man and his dog I believe It's so lovely to see them all and doing so well.....it's going to be a very sad day when they have to leave

My havent they grown!

You will need to plant loads of tomato plants to keep that lot happy WS.

SM

From little yellow balls of fluff to this in 8 weeks






We got home this afternoon turned into the drive and there they were right in the middle of the drive doing a bit of sunbathing
