Here we see a peaceful scene of 5-week-old ducklings bathing preening, and snacking. Wait until the end for the flap!

At 0:40, you can clearly see the bird on the right getting oil from its oil gland near the tail to oil up its feathers.

Looking for any local homeschoolers who would be interested in joining a one-day duck class at our homestead! If there’s enough interest we will organize something! We did this a couple of years ago and it was a blast!

You might ask: why is Bill sitting by these irises all alone? But looks can be deceiving. Bill, one of our sweetest ducks, is in fact guarding one of his lady friends who is laying an egg while hidden in the irises.

Some love for our older ducks! The very dark duck on the right is our beloved hen we named Shade; the first hen to drink from the puddle (the one with the strongest facial markings) we named “Grand Finale” because she was the last to hatch from her group, MUCH later than everyone else! Shade was the second to hatch from the same group 3 years ago.

At three weeks, ducklings are starting to be less dependent on their mother…but they still stick close. And look, they can easily drink from the big-duck water bins they used to get stuck in! 😁

One advantage of Anconas is that they are the best foragers of the middleweight ducks, according to duck expert Dave Holderread. That means they can gather a greater percentage of their food from wild bugs, seeds, leaves, etc. than other ducks their size (or larger). Here you can observe the youngsters voraciously gobbling up some early grass seeds.
