Augusto, The chocolate pied drake.

11 month old chocolate pie drake, Augusto, enjoying the water.

Ducks love fresh water!

One of my lovely muscovey duck hens.

She has a Mickey Mouse print on her side. Click on the image to get a closer look.

My all white lovely muscovey duck hen. These duck hens hatched around Feb-March this year.

My Cinnabun!

Now, you may be wondering, where are her ears? why does she have little elf ears? well, it's just her breeding, and I think it gives her a very cute and petite face. And I also think her little brown spot, looks like a little cinnabon. Which is what I have been calling her lately.
D.O.B 3/3/07, and when she was 10 days old, I de-horned her all by myself, and am very proud, because so far, there is no scurs growing back. She is my second successful de-horning, Carmellatte is my first successful de-horning.

checking out the grass

Here they are, checking out the grass. 4 days old, and STILL cuter than buttons!
I love the expression on the orange chicks face, on the very left.
Getting a little bit more adventurous.

Now you may be thinking, what the heck is the chick in the very middle doing to her wing? well they run their wings thru their beaks to clean them, and I thought maybe you would think "what is that chick doing?" cause thats what I thought too, till I realized what the little fella was doing.

cuter than buttons

Here are the now 5 day old chicks, with their mom at 1 day old, and the reason I decided to raise these little chickies that are cute as buttons is, because the next day, only 1 had gone with her, and the rest was laying in her nest where they had hatched, and worried about them being all by themself.

Here they are 2 days old, snuggling together for the night, still cuter than buttons!
aren't they sooooo cute?

this is what it takes to be cuter than buttons.

Shaddo and Carmella

On the left is 17 month old Shaddo, and on the right is her 7 month old daughter Carmellatte, Now, Shaddo tried weaning her kid 3-4 months ago, with no suck luck, Carmella is too persistent, so, Shaddo gave up. Carmella said, "No way momma, you cant wean me, your milk is too delicious to give up!" Lol.
