Ducklings!

I hate to be without ducks, and I am duckless no longer. Meet Sauvage and Sirah, the two newest additions to my poultry yard. They're black Indian Runners, and hopefully at least one of them is a hen who will lay lovely eggs.

The chicken coop retrofit is about half done, with the chicks now safely outside in an unlovely but raccoon-proof coop. By the time these cuties feather and are ready to live outside, all should be finished. Until then, they are living in the house, being adorable, disgusting little messy, water-loving ducks. yay!

Sauvage is the one with the yellow around her bill.
