Time for the ducklings to move out of the house! They’re so big… I put a nice, deep container of water in the tank and they went dunking… 🙂
Chick Chronicles: Taking Over the Yard
The girls have grown and claimed their land in the backyard — and they don’t like any other birds or critters in their space. 🙂 Penguin is indeed the largest of the bunch. A visitor crept into the yard: And these birds chased the cat off — they are some tough chicks: The ducks keep on growing:
