Calls, Silkies and Rouens

I took several photos of Isolde yesterday, none of them were any good, today, they all worked, she is a pretty little duck.  Looks a little high in the chest, but she's a bit worried about me hanging about with the camera.





Sylvie also looking good this morning.



As the Smarty pair are getting their first adult feathers, the choc dots are disappearing.  Guess that's good, but now they are just white ducks!!  Not the most flattering photo, but best angle to see the lessening choc markings.



Rocko and Titus are buds.  Rocko is a 'good do-er' always up the front when there is food to be had, one of the first out the door in the morning too!  Easy to pick out, Rocko is usually the duck staggering around with a crop so full his balance looks to be affected.


Titus, lovely blue speculum.



Carmen is a saxony coloured Call duck - glad that's sorted ;-D Colour looks a bit washed out here, because of the flash.  And having said yesterday that she gets around fine, today the cold start to the morning looks to affecting her, and she's keen to rest her wonky leg.



Honey Barbara is growing up and filling out, looking lovely still :)  She is a lot more confident in her surroundings now, and much less reliant on Barry.



The hot couple round here today is not Will and Kate, its Iggy and Suzi!!



This is Dotty, out and about this morning.



And this is Lilla, best pic I've been able to take of her in a while!!  Like her mates she is growing up and filling out, soon time to move to the adult pen.



And Spotty, caught mid crow.


Last but not least, the Rouens, enjoying the bright morning sun, the wind is very chilly, but it doesnt seem to bother them at all.
