TICH and Quackers, our Indian Runner ducklings, finally made an appearance sometime yesterday afternoon. We're still in shock. Some would say shell-shocked. Aren't they brilliant? More to follow soon.
UPDATE: Tich and Quackers appear to be strong, healthy ducklings who are well cared for by Rosemary. They are inquisitive little characters who eat well, drink plenty and love to splash about in their bowl of water as well as drink from it. They do look comical when preening themselves after a dip but they are much more steady on their feet. They looked like a couple of fluffy drunks staggering about for the first 24 hours or so. Mum watches them constantly, wondering no doubt, about the antics of her babies - and her own identity. Still, she is turning out to be a great parent but we do have concerns because she is eating very little at the moment. Something new to worry about.
