Rubber Ducky

Pictures From Spring Valley


 Rubber Ducky

Did you know that only ducklings can be yellow? When they grow up they always turn white. We have been learning a lot about ducks through trial and error this spring. The yellow Pekins in this picture got sick and died sadly, but the brown Khaki Campbells have now outgrown their duckling feathers. Those little stubs have turned into full-grown wings ready for flight. Like most ladies, my sister likes to coo over these baby pictures.
