Okay, so I wasn’t going to name the ducklings but I can’t help myself now because they are surviving so well AND chasing me everywhere. They somehow know that my voice means lettuce or bread and they pretty much attack me every time I step out the door.
‘Michael Jackson’ is the dancing duckling and, before today, I thought the twins were identical until I noticed that one had a a lot of freckles (‘Freckle’) and the other one had more of a mish-mash of colouring and personality and beauty, so I have called her ‘Misha’.
I know I shouldn’t have favourites and of course I love Michael Jackson and Freckle and Misha equally but let’s just say that for this week I am quacking with Misha!
Misha is named after someone with a better name – and this is sent with a love quack to her!
You old softie lol
I thought they were gentle little things until I got the lettuce out yesterday – yikes!
Thanks — to you, Michael Jackson, Freckle, and Misha — for the loving, quacking-good, and otherwise adorable post.
They make my days!
Too cute!
Too right!
What a wonderful sweet post, my first of the day and it is starting me off just right…
Yay!
There’s nothing like adorable new creatures to bring a bit of joy into our day. Thank you for sharing. Made me smile. 🙂
Haha!
You know that I have ordered some ducklings just because of you and your little flock! c
are ducks a flock?, gaggle? duckle? I will have to look it up!
Oh dear – I am not sure!
Adorable indeed. And so much fun to watch them develop their distinct personalities! Great names.
Yes!
They’re precious!!! But my heart belongs to Grumpy Godfrey
You can have him!
Laughing – might be tricky to get him to the States – but more importantly, I think you’d miss him – and I think the new baby ducks would too!
They’re certainly little cuties and I love the names you’ve given them!
Thank you!
First you had me wanting peacocks, and now you have me wanting DUCKS! Oh so cute!!!
So will you get ducks?
I will… AFTER I put up the fence to keep out the coyotes, foxes, and the neighbor’s marauding hounds!!! 😉
So adorable – Michael Jackson … what a long name for a duckling *smile – but why not. You’re so funny. So cute – and they look very happy .. with you around.
Forgotten to say .. have a pleasant weekend. *smile

They are so cute! I just love ducks.
I just wish they would stop coming to the back door – they can really poooop!
They are adorable!
They have my genes!
😀
Julie, Your to cute for words you truly are. Would you love me the most if I quacked the loudest LOL LOL. Take care, Bill
I think you definitely deserve a QUACK Bill!
Misha is quacking you thanks. Or did I misunderstand her “feed me”? 😉
Sometimes I am not quite sure!
Why not name them? They are like small children!!!! cute photos!
Just want them to get bigger fast – the bigger they are the safer they are!
Bless that little Misha! She’s a feisty growing ball of bill and feathers, squawking her Hello’s, and Where’s the Lettuce?! May her noisy voice and eager beauty bring smiles to your face and your heart in this trying time. With thoughts of you, Gina
Thanks so much Gina! xx
