Quack quack quack quack. Wat du wat; wat du wat. Quack quack.

The ducklings are growing up fast, so fast that they’ve just about caught up to their mama in size. They’re still a tightly-knit group and travel all over the farm together, but they’re becoming more independent and forthright as well. I’ve seen individual young ducks chase chickens out of their way, sticking their bills out flat in a menacing fashion. It’s hard to believe their size and maturity — just yesterday they were fluffy little things.
